Jorge Espalatino (Georg Spalatin) 17.01.1484 - 15.01.1545. La teología de Lutero, basada en el profundo conocimiento de la Biblia y de los antiguos Doctores de la Iglesia, en 1518 ya había convencido a la mayoría de los profesores y estudiantes de la jóven universidad de Wittenberg.
Spalatin nunca se había interesado por la teología y, aunque era sacerdote y predicador, había sido humanista. Se desconoce cómo conoció a Lutero, probablemente en Wittenberg, pero el reformador se convirtió en su principal consejero en todas las cuestiones morales y religiosas.

Georg Spalatin. 17.01.1484 - 15.01.1545. By 1518, the majority of teachers and students at the new Wittenberg University had accepted Luther's new theology, which was based on a thorough knowledge of the Bible and the ancient church fathers.
Put in charge of the castle library in Wittenberg, Georg Spalatin — who was born Georg Burckhardt but adopted the surname as a derivative of his birthplace, Spalt, Germany—became friends with Martin Luther, exchanging letters and serving as Luther’s protector from the demands of Rome.
How he first became acquainted with Luther is unknown — probably at Wittenberg — but the reformer became his chief counselor in all moral and religious matters. His letters to Luther have been lost, but the answers remain. He read Luther's writings to the elector and translated for his benefit those in Latin into German.
Georg Spalatin played a critical role in the Saxon court during the early days of the Reformation and was an ardent supporter of reforms throughout northern Germany. Born January 17, 1484 as Georg Burckhardt in Spalt near Nuremburg, he was the illegitimate son of a Franconian tanner.
