His parents cannot be determined exactly. Corvinus is most likely an illegitimate son of Lippold Rabe von Canstein, canon in Paderborn and Burggraf von Warburg with N.N. Cythogallus (mentioned: Bierhahn, Lat.: Cervisia, beer and Gallus, the Hahn). He is called himself Antonius Rabe (lat.: Corvus, the raven) and Anton Räbener and until 1536 Anthony Zythogallus , Antonius Bierhahn or Antonius Brohahan . He also constantly seals with the coat of arms of the crowned black, left -handing (heraldic: right -wing) raven (with a bastard bar).

After some reports, Corvinus became a Cistercian monk in Loccum in 1519, according to others in Riddagshausen; [first] He left which monastery in 1523 when he became a supporter of Lutheran teaching. He studied Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthons in Wittenberg as a student. Later he was a pastor in Goslar (1528) and Witzenhausen (1529). In 1540 he wrote the first Calenberg church order, was a consultant for Landgrave Philipp von Hessen and later the Duchesswitwe Elisabeth and introduced the Reformation in Northeim, Hildesheim (1541, together with Johannes Bugenhagen) and Calenberg in 1539. In Calenberg he was supported by his relatives, the Hessian and Caleberg tribulation and Hofrat Burkhard Mithoff. In 1542 Corvinus became a pastor in Pattensen and general superintendent of the Principality of Braunschweig-Calenberg. In 1542 he visited churches in the state of Lippe as an interim superintendent. [2]

The Catholic sovereign Erich II accepted the Augsburg interim of the Catholic emperor in 1548. At the Lutheran Synod of Münden, Anton Corvinus and the Pattens preacher Walter Hoiker (also called stools), together with 140 clergymen in 1549, stood bitterly against the interim. As a result, Erich II, Anton Corvinus and Walter Hoiker put on November 2, 1549 in the festival Calenberg in Bugehaft to force her and the other clergymen to accept the interim. The prisoners were well cared for, received mail and answered and talked to their visitors through an open window. Later after the Passau contract, when the emperor had declared the interim invalid and Erich II had fallen in favor of him, Erich II released the two prisoners on October 21, 1552.

Afterwards Anton Corvinus was pastor at the Aegidienkirche in Hanover. Docter Corvynus died on April 5, 1553 in Hanover and in S. Georgii Churches of 8 preachers to burial the country and was buried on the choir in front of the altar, 52 years. [3] He had two sons and three daughters.
