Summary
Quatrains about professors in subjects such as theology, law, medicine, and philosophy at the University of Wittenberg, including Johannes Bugenhagius Pomeranus, Andreas Schadt, Casparius Strubius, Petrus Albinus Nivemontus, and M. Johannes Grunius, introduced by a dedication to Haubold of Einsidel in Scharffenstein, perhaps chancellor of Augustus, Elector of Saxony. The title page mimics that of a printed book by attributing the printing to Matthaeus Vuelack, but the manuscript is not known to have been printed.
