Breposl, Publication Year:2022 -- SUMMARY The volume with a joint introductory chapter is in the first part devoted to Humanists publishing in the circle of the university of Leipzig at the turn of the 15th century: Paulus Niavis / Schneevogel (ca. 1453 1517) and Ioannes Honorius Cubitensis (ca. 1465 1504). The second part includes the translation work of Řehoř Hrubý of Jelení (ca. 1460 1514), mostly preserved in manuscript, the first translation from Ancient Greek into Czech by Václav Písecký (ca. 1482 1511), and a remarkable edition of Martianus Capella s work De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii prepared by Ioannes Dubravius (ca. 1486 1553). The volume covers a relatively short period beginning in 1488, when the editions of Niavis and Honorius are first documented in Leipzig, and ending with 1516, when Dubravius s edition of Martianus Capella was published in Vienna.
