After listing the librarians along with the history of their major acguisitions, he
turns to the building and gives the text of a plague, "" again referring to Lambeck:
„Quod bonum, felix et faustum sit Augustissimam Bibliothecam Caesaream Vin¬
dobonensem a ... Imperatore Maximiliano |. partim quidem ex maiorum suorum li
braria ... circa Annum ... MCCC.XCV. fundatam, ... verum etiam magne parte librorum
Serenissimi Regis Hungariae Matthiae Corvini ... locupletatam."?”°

also left its mark on the booming library literature that followed the publication
of the work. First published in 1669, Johannes Lomeier’s (1636-1699) work, de
bibliothecis,*” makes fundamental statements, summarising the literature of the
Bibliotheca Corvina, which lived on with this data until the end of the next cen¬
tury. As Lomeier’s text is more detailed in the 1680 edition, the text in only this
edition is placed between the signs <<...>> (in italics).

rus, adhuc adolescentulus auditis aliorum fortibus et praeclaris factis, adeo accensus
fuisse dicitur, ut exultim tripudians, quasi de animi applausu virtutis stimulos testatus.
Praecipuam tamen laudem apud posteritatem ei peperit cognitio admiratioque doc¬

of the quotation is correct; checked it in these editions: Jovius (Giovio) 1556 (Galeotto: 104-105.);
Jovius (Grovio) 1557 (Galeotto: 97-98.); Jovrus (Grovio) 1571 (Galeotto: 104-105); Jovrus (Grovio)
1577 (Galeotto: 90.)
