Sebastian Hofmeister

Hofmeister joined the Franciscan order in Schaffhausen before studying for several years in Paris.

It was in Zurich where he first met the Swiss Reformer Huldrych Zwingli, who influenced him a great deal.

Hofmeister would begin preaching the Reformation at Lucerne, resulting in his expulsion from that town.

[1] He would find safety in Zürich where he established himself with the early Reformation debates there.

Hoffmeister actually had a correspondence with Martin Luther, and wrote several works, including an autobiography.
