See Rudolf of Ems. EMSER, ams'cr. Hiekoxymi s (1477-1527). A German theologian of the Roman Catholic Church, known for his opposition to Luther. He was born at 1 dm. studied at Tubingen and Basel, and lectured at Erfurt, where Luther was one of his bearers, and afterwards at Leipzig. From 1504 he was secretary to Duke George of Saxony, who employed him to collect material regarding Bishop Benno of Meissen, and in 1510 sent him to Rome to obtain the canonization of that prelate. He was rewarded with several benefices, and entertained Luther at Dresden in 1517. Vfter the Disputation of Leipzig in 1519, he did all he could to further the controversy which arose between himself and Luther. He was particularly bitter against Luther's translation of tbo New Testament, which, In- declared, con- tained l be grand total of 1400 lies and errors. Numerous corrections suggested by him were adopted either by Luther or by subsequent re- visers. In 1527 he published his rendering of tin- New Testament Erom the Vulgate, which was violently assailed and ridiculed by his theo- logical adversaries. Consult: Waldau.
