Willibald Pirckheimer (5 December 1470 – 22 December 1530) was a German Renaissance lawyer, author and Renaissance humanist, a wealthy and prominent figure in Nuremberg in the 16th century, imperial counsellor and a member of the governing City Council for two periods. One of the most important cultural patrons of Germany in his own right,[1] he was the closest friend of the artist Albrecht Dürer,[2] who made a number of portraits of him, and a close friend of the great humanist and theologian Erasmus.
