Life and career

Hans Judenkünig was born in Schwäbisch Gmünd sometime between the years 1445 and 1450. His family originated from Württemberg where its possible his father was Hartmann Judenkünig of that city. The earliest known record of Hans Judenkünig dates to 1518 where he is recorded as a lutenist at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna. He worked as a lutenist in the vicinity of the University of Vienna and was best known for his two lute books written for the self-teaching of a lay audience. His instructional manual for the lute, Utilis et compendiaria introductio, qua ut fundamento iacto quam facillime musicum exercitium, instrumentorum et lutine, et quod vulgo Geygen nominant, addiscitur, was published in Vienna at latest in 1519 but possibly as early as 1515.^[1]

He died in Vienna in March 1526.^[1]
