Georg Rörer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Rörer (Latin, Rorarius) (1492-1557) was a Lutheran reformer and pastor. He was one of the first clergyman ordained by Martin Luther himself in 1525. His office was deacon. He assisted in Luther's work of translating the Bible (1522-1545) and served as Luther's secretary beginning in 1537. In this capacity Rörer became one of the editors of Luther's Tischreden or "table talk" as well as a collected edition of Luther's works. He moved to Copenhagen in 1551 and to Halle, Saxony-Anhalt in 1553.
