Editing Conrad Grebel (section)

==Education==
Conrad Grebel is thought to have studied for six years at the ''Carolina'', the Latin school of the Grossmünster Church in Zürich. He enrolled at the University of Basel in October 1514. While there he studied under [[Heinrich Glarean|Heinrich Loriti]], a noted humanist scholar. His father acquired a stipend from Emperor Maximilian for Conrad to study at the University of Vienna. In 1515 he began attending there and remained until 1518. While there, Grebel developed a close friendship with [[Joachim Vadian]],{{Efn | In 1519, Vadian married Conrad Grebel's sister Martha.}} an eminent Swiss humanist professor from St. Gall.  After spending three years in Vienna he returned to Zürich for about three months. His father acquired a scholarship for Conrad from the King of France to attend the University in Paris. He spent two years in study there, and joined the boarding academy of his former teacher in Basel, Loriti. In [[Paris]] Grebel engaged in a loose lifestyle, and was involved in several brawls with other students. When Grebel's father received word of his son's demeanor, he cut off Conrad's funds and demanded that he return to Zürich. Conrad Grebel spent about six years in three universities, but without finishing his education or receiving a degree.

In 1521 Grebel joined a group gathered to study with [[Huldrych Zwingli]]. With him they studied the Greek classics, the Latin Bible, the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. It was in this study group that Grebel met and developed a close friendship with [[Felix Manz]].
