Lomeier’s description has left an enduring mark on later literature, with many people adopting parts of his description verbatim. The work of the Flemish preacher Franciscus de Ridder (1620?-1683), published under the genre-creating title (de eruditione historia), is such an adaptation,*”? unworthy of the genre, without notes or quoted without criticism. The Hamburg philology teacher Rudolf Capell (1634-1684) did the same, compiling a collection of texts on books, works, and libraries with a pedagogical feel (Lectionum bibliothecariarum memorabilium syntagma). As part of this, he commemorates the Buda library with Lomeier’s words.*” The 18th century was already the period of bibliophiles collecting old books, so it is not surprising that in Frankfurt am Main, under the chairmanship of Johann Isaac Ludwig Causse (1728-1802), a thesis was published analysing the price of old manuscripts (de raro librorum manuscriptorum pretio). Among these, Paul August Theremin quotes Lomeier*”* in saying that Péter Pázmány (Cardinalis Bozmannus) wanted to give 30,000 gold pieces for the codices kept in Constantinople. Dissertations written in the genre of Aistoria litteraria also refer to Lomeierre, or use his text as a starting point, with citations to earlier works, such as those dealing with the history of the Corvina. A good example is the successful disputation de iacturis rei literariae, chaired by Johann Wilhelm Berger, presented in Witten39 BETWEEN 1666 and 1669, the only volume of the collection of letters of Jacobus Crucius (1579-1655) was published in 1669 (Cructus 1669), in which I found no reference to the work of Walter Leslie (1606-1667), the imperial envoy. About him see Viskotcz 2009, 155-156. It would be strange anyway, since Crucius died before Leslie went to Constantinople.
