Hieronymus Ziegler

Ziegler, Hieronymus (Rothenburg ob der Tauber, c.1514-62, Ingolstadt), was a Roman Catholic schoolmaster in Augsburg and later a professor at Ingolstadt. His Latin plays (including Immolatio Isaac, 1543, Paedonothia, 1543, and Samson, 1547) are a first step towards the Jesuit drama (see Jesuitendrama) of the 17th c.
