Opmerkingen
A very interesting album amicorum compiled by Arnoldus Lang, probably a student at the university of Nurnberg ("Arnoldo Langio Noribergensi"). It appears several smaller leaves were added later. After collation it is not clear how the album was originally compiled. At least 40 contributions are dated 1575, i.a. Maximilian in Curia; Barthol. Pömer, Gabriel Baumgarten, Wolfgang Prandtner, Matthias Löffelholz; Gabriel Stümpfel, Jeremias Bardt, Georg Stöckel, M. Wolfgang Hegius, Conrad Sattler, Johann Pictorius, Joh. Rager, Wolf Waldung, Valentin Arnoldt and Christoph Resch. W. Klose, Corpus alborum amicorum 75.LAN.ARN. Goldmann gives a description in Nürnberger und Altdorfer Stammbücher aus vier Jahrhunderten, no.925: "eine kleinere Anzahl kleiner Widmungsbl. sind zwischen die größeren eingeklebt". Provenance: C.G. Boerner 1911, no.19 (sale Stammbücher-sammlung Friedrich Warnecke). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXIII.
