| German reformer, born prior to 1483 in Carlstadt, Bavaria. In 1517 he joined Luther, who in 1521 rebuked his iconoclastic zeal, and whom he afterwards opposed on the question of the Eucharist. Accused of participation in the Peasants' War, he fled to Switzerland, and became professor of theology at Basel. |
