Eck, Johann Mayer von 1486-1543
German Catholic theologian
Born in Egg, Swabia, he studied at Heidelberg, Cologne, Tübingen and Freiburg im Breisgau universities. As Professor of Theology at Ingolstadt (1510-43), he was the ruling spirit of that university. He disputed with Martin Luther at Leipzig in 1519, wrote his De Primatu Petri and went to Rome in 1520, to return with the Bull which declared Luther a heretic. He also disputed with Joannes Oecolampadius at Baden and with Philip Melanchthon at Worms (1540).
