Ludwig Rabus

Ludwig Rabus (also Rab or Günzer) (10 October 1523 – 22 July 1592) was a German Lutheran theologian and Protestant reformer.

When the Strasbourg council favoured Johannes Marbach, Rabus left the city, where he was regarded as something of a fanatic, and went to Ulm, where he worked for 34 years as minister and dean.

In the controversy around Kaspar Schwenckfeld he wrote against Katharina Zell, who defended herself, and what had been a long-running private disagreement about her husband's legacy became a public quarrel.

[1] In Ulm, Rabus standardised teaching, held inspections, introduced liturgical books, and supported Andreae in his efforts towards the Swabian Concord.

The first volume begins with Abel and discusses biblical stories and martyrs of the Early Christian Church; it uses Eusebius of Caesarea as a source.
