Johann AckermannJohann Ackermann was a Bohemian author of the 15th century. He lived around 1429 in Sacz, Bohemia. He wrote a dispute between Death and a man, who just lost his young wife to the former. This writing is conserved in various old handwritings and prints. He reveals his name Johann in an acrostic at the end, and also reveals his surname and profession of fowler saying I am named a peasant (Ackermann), but my plow works on the bird pastures. He reveals knowledge of the ancient masters and a versatility in prose throughout his text. Sources
