Rodolphus Agricola (August 28, 1443 – October 27, 1485) was a Dutch humanist scholar recognized as the "father of Northern European humanism" for his role in introducing the Italian Renaissance's intellectual disciplines to the North. Known for his mastery of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, he was a versatile figure who excelled as an organist, poet, and orator, though he preferred the life of an independent scholar over institutional ties.
