• Resumen

  • Wrocław, University Library, Mil. II 150 (6180) is a German manuscript transmitting a set of patristic, medieval, and humanistic Latin texts. Although it gives no explicit clue as to its date or origin, it can be convincingly demonstrated that it was written sometime between the 29th November 1458 and the end of 1460 within the environment of the University of Leipzig and, specifically, the Faculty of Theology. This manuscript and its owner and partial scribe – the theologian and academic Andreas Rüdiger – can be linked to other manuscripts and people active at Leipzig University. This relationship sheds light on a set of German academics and students, who shared common interests in Latin works written by (or attributed to) Isidore of Seville, as well as in texts related to the Bohemian Hussite revolution. A commented list of books owned and works written by Andreas Rüdiger is offered as an appendix.
