Johannes Murmellius (c. 1480 – 2 October 1517) was a Dutch teacher and humanist, known for numerous textbooks, and his spreading of humanism, particularly in the Prince-Bishopric of Münster.
Then with the support of Rudolph von Langen he was brought in as assistant head of the cathedral school at Münster.
[2] He was then school rector in Alkmaar from 1513, where he insisted his pupils had a good reading knowledge of parts of the Bible.
[3] The marauding Arumer Zwarte Hoop sacked Alkmaar in late June 1517, leaving Murmellius destitute.
He died suddenly in early October 1517, giving rise to an unsubstantiated rumour that Listrius had poisoned him.
