Work
A Dutch humanist (Johannes Myrmeling), philologist, author of a popular Latin study book Pappa puerorum, published in 1517; one of the sections of the book (dictionary) was used as the basis for the Polish edition published in Cracow. The Polish part of the dictionary was written by Hieronim Spiczyński, a member of the municipal council of Cracow, and the German part was presumably written by Hieronim Wietor, a printer.
