Abstract
Latin poets of the early modern period were fond of using prosaic models as themes in their work. The paper examines a unique group of poetic compositions inspired by manuscripts of medieval sermons of professors at the university in Prague. Inspiration was found in them also by Jan Campanus, a professor of history and poetry who encouraged his students to explore historical themes and engage in the study of sources and thus had a significant influence on their work.
Highlights
Wenn man über das Schicksal alter Handschriften aus den Bibliotheken der Karlsuniversität Prag in der frühen Neuzeit spricht, werden am häufigsten immer wieder die gleichen Stellen aus den edierten Quellen zitiert, die über die Verkäufe der Handschriften berichten oder gar über deren Veräußerung als Makulatur für verschiedene Zwecke.[1] (Abb. 1) Im Zusammenhang mit den Prager Kollegienbibliotheken spricht man wiederholt von fehlendem Interesse der Propste, die mitunter keinen Unterschied zwischen ihren privaten Bibliotheken und denen der Kollegien machten
