Summary/Abstract: After having completed his studies at Cracow, Bologna, and Padua, Ioannes Baptista Novosoliensis was active as a private teacher of rhetoric in Cracow. An important representative of Ciceronianism in Central Europe, Novosoliensis was the author of several editions of and commentaries on the works of M. T. Cicero, of which the most interesting one is his commentary on the First letter ad Quintum fratrem (Cracow, 1528). It is one of the earliest, if not the earliest, commentary on this letter devoted to just and wise provincial administration. The work of Ioannes Baptista Novosoliensis illustrates the high standard of philology pursued in sixteenth-century Slovak-Polish scholarly circles.
