German historian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludwig Schmugge (born 28 November 1939) is a German historian.
Born in Berlin, Schmugge completed his dissertation on John of Jandun in 1964 in Paris with the help of a six-month scholarship from the Commission for the Study of the History of Franco-German Relations. He was awarded his doctorate in 1965 at the Freie Universität Berlin with this work supervised by Wilhelm Berges. From 1966 to 1971 he was a research assistant at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut. In 1971 he was habilitated at the FU Berlin. Schmugge initially taught as professor of medieval history at the FU Berlin. From 1979 until his retirement in 2004, Schmugge taught as a full professor for medieval history at the University of Zurich. In the academic year 1991/1992 he was a research fellow at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich.[1] From 2004 to 2008 Schmugge was chairman of the scientific advisory board of the German Historical Institute in Rome. His main areas of research are constitutional, ecclesiastical and social history of the High and Late Middle Ages as well as Canon Law. With his dissertation he pursued the goal of compiling and rearranging the scarce sources on the life history of Johannes, of extracting from his works the social-theoretical ideas and then comparing them with those of Marsilius of Padua.[2] Schmugge was for many years editor of the Repertorium Germanicum.
