"Willibald Pirckheimer (5 December 1470 – 22 December 1530) was a German Renaissance lawyer, author and Renaissance humanist, a wealthy and prominent figure in Nuremberg in the 16th century, and a member of the governing City Council for two periods. He was the closest friend of the artist Albrecht Dürer, who made a number of portraits of him, and a close friend of the great humanist and theologian Erasmus."[3]
Willibald Pirckheimer continued his humanistic studies throughout his life, teaching himself Greek to a level at which he could skillfully translate it into Latin. He also became friends with many cultural and intellectual leaders of Germany, including the painter Albrecht Diirer (who was also from Nuremberg), and the Dutch humanist scholar Desiderius Erasmus; they corresponded with him and joined the Pirckheimer sodality when they were in Nuremberg. Willibald’s letters to them survive and provide much information about the personal and intellectual connections among Germany’s leading thinkers.
