Walram von Siegburg (fl. c. 1440)

Walram von Siegburg (fl. c. 1440) OM. German friar, who entered the theology degree program at Cologne university in 1430, and became magister regens in 1435. Remained active as theology professor until 1443, and was Dean of the theology faculty between 1435 and 1439. We still have the autograph of his graduate student note book, which not only gives detailed information on the courses and (extra)curricular activities he had to fulfill for his graduation as bachelor and master at Cologne university, replete with themes/titles and texts of disputations, principia and the ceremonial acts for the promotion (including his Vesperiae , Collatio , Disputatio in Aula , and the Resumpta on the day of his promotion), but also informs us about his promotores , the official opponents during his doctorate defense, related officials, and fellow students (such as Heinrich von Werl). Most relevant passages of this graduate student note book have been edited by Clasen.
