Just as Keler’s text on wine was broadened by the rector and published under his own name, so did he expand on what had been written on Naldo Naldi. In 1723, he catalogued the manuscripts in his institution’s library.*” In it he writes the following about the Naldi codex: CXXXIX. Naldi Naldii Florentini descriptio Bibliothecae Budensis Serenissimi Regis Vngariae Matthiae Corvini. Ampliorem huius nitidi et multis figuris exornati codicis, qui ex ipsa bibliotheca Regia huc translatus, dedimus in dissertatione De meritis Malthiae Corvini in rem literariam“® This book was published in Jena where he certainly met Martin Schmeizel who taught there.** We do not know when and why Schmeizel (1679-1747) first became interested in the Naldo Naldi manuscript, but it is certain that either he personally or Janichen, or one of their an agents, copied the work for Schmeizel. Schmeizel was appointed professor in Jena in 1722, and already on this occasion we can read about the plan to compile a volume on the Buda library in a eulogy written by Stephan Keller (the rector of the school in Nagysink).*" Gaudia et vota patriae...*" Nec minus, externce jam non novus incola terre, Ilustrat Patriam grato cum pectore dulcem.

We know that the po/yhistor from Brassé also taught a special course at the university on the history of Matthias’s library.*” It is assumed that his familiarity with this brought him into contact with Janichen, who then helped him to obtain a copy for himself. At the end of his life, he also listed it among his unrealised plans as item 14: 14. Notitia Bibliothecae Budensis, cum Naldi Naldii L.
