Indeed, the Basel edition of 1531 is recognised, ? in which the indicated works
are included. Brassicanus, who wrote a separate dedication to each work, does not
mention that he found the commentaries on Genesis and the Book of Kings in
Buda. In his dedication of Commentariorum in libros Regum... libri quatuor to Janus
of Svolla (Jan Zvolsky, Johannes Volscius, a humanist from Vienna), he mentions
the threat to Vienna in 1529 (Odsidio Viennae per immanissimos Turcas), about
books that were destroyed by fire, but he does not mention Buda. I could not find
any indication of where he got his information. He may have been interpreting
items from Julius Pflugk’s catalogue, but it is also possible that Brassicanus wrote
somewhere about these codices.
