Digna Favore Simplicitas. Medieval Manuscripts as a Model for the Neo-latin Poems of Jan Campanus and His Students

Summary/Abstract: Latin poets of the early modern period were fond of using prosaic models as themes in their work. The paper examines a unique group of poetic compositions inspired by manuscripts of medieval sermons of professors at the university in Prague. Inspiration was found in them also by Jan Campanus, a professor of history and poetry who encouraged his students to explore historical themes and engage in the study of sources and thus had a significant influence on their work.
