ON this occasion, the students of the school published a festschrift: A/s der Edle Ehrenveste und
Wollgelahrte Herr Herr M. Peter Jänichen, des Berübmten Gymnasii zu Thorn wollverdienter Rector, wie
auch der Neustaädtischen Schule Inspector, mit der Viel-Ehr-und Tugendreichen Jungfrauen Christina geborne
Bramdauin... sich glücklich vermäbhlete... 2. Tag des Monats May diese 1709. Jahres Ihre obliegende Pflicht
und Schuldigkeit hiemit abstatten die Lehrenden der Neustädtischen Schule, Thorn, Rahts und Gymnasii
Buchdruckerey, 1709.
JANICHEN-KELER 1712. This text was published by Janichen himself and then expanded and
republished and accompanied by a small German summary (it is unsure whether Keler or Janichen
himself wrote it): JANICHEN 1731, 215-255. (Dissertatio de vineis Vngariae), 255-278. (Beschreibung des
vornehmsten Weingebiirges in Ungarn). On page 272 there is a German-Hungarian Latin glossary, ,Die
Werckzeuge, die bey dem Weinbau gebrauchet werden’. It should be noted that the Szögi 2003 register
does not know about Paulus Keler, but it does know about several other members of the Keler family
of Bartfa. Ephraim Keler was enrolled at the school there in 1719, Sigmund in 1731, and Martinus
in 1742 (Szöcı 2003, Nr. 961, 968, 970). Janichen himself refers to Paulus Keler as ,civis Thorunensis”
(JANICHEN 1731, 256.), but at the end of his work De vineis Ungariae (JANICHEN 1731, 255-256.) he
states: , Haec quae sequuntur, de vineis earumque cultura, germanico sermone consrcipta commentaria,
nobiscum benevole communicavit Vir doctrina et virtute conspicuus harumque rerum gnarissimus Dn.
Paullus Keler, civis Thorunensis.” — i.e. Keler was from the Hungarian Kingdom, and besides his native
German language he also knew Hungarian (as Jänichen did not). From the description we can get
perfect topographical and land tenure historical knowledge. D6rNyEI-SzAvuty, RMK III/XVIII,
2005, Nr. 829. also considers him originating from Hungary.
Morrer C. 1717 (Dörnvei-SzAvury, RMK. IIVXVII. Nr. 1086.; about Moller see Szöcı 2003, Nr.
958. (Moller studued in the institution from 1713). It should be noted that an early 19th century person,
interested in the history of the Corvina Library, copied Moller’s dissertation into a volume along with
the 1688 edition of Julius von Pflugk’s catalogue (MTAK Kt. Tort. 4", Nr. 64.), furthermore, Moller’s
book is wrongly dated to 1718. The Pflugk work: PrLucrus 1688.
