Specimen of a Historical and Critical Library of Rare Physical and Medical Books

He seems to have been a man of ancient gravity and chaste religion, so that even GEORGIVS FABRICIVS of Chemnitz writes of him: that everything in him was composed toward severity, and that he used the saying more frequently: Among secular people trifles are trifles, but among priests they are blasphemies. He met his end in the year 1519 at Meissen, to which the Academy had been transferred on account of the fear of a pestilential disease raging at Leipzig that year. Concerning his family, there is nothing that we could add. Indeed, another man of the same name flourished at that time, who after the death of our own took up the office of Dean of the Philosophers in the year 1521; Andreas Hundt also flourished, who in the year 1512 of the same century obtained the same dignity, but whether both belong to the family of our subject is not certain. Our man, however, left behind many writings which were excellent for the standards of that age and confirm that the man was endowed with much learning and various knowledge. A list of them up to the year 1514 was given to us by that anonymous contemporary writer in the Century of distinguished writers who flourished in the most famous academies, especially those of Leipzig, Wittenberg, and Frankfurt on the Oder, edited by IOH. IOACH. MADERUS, No. XLVIII. Included here among other things is Regiment original: "Regimen/Guide" against certain diseases of the chest, against the gout, against the French disease syphilis. see Biblioth. Riuin. p. 237. n. 2221. Certain of his manuscripts are also preserved in the Leipzig Paulina Library, according to IOACH. FELLER, in Catalogue of the Manuscript Codices of the Paulina Library, page 422, n. g. Collected by Mr. MAGNUS HUNDT, Doctor of Theology, Doctor of Medicine in Book II of the Various Questions Disputed on the Sentences; and another manuscript codex of Institutions, which Magnus Hundt bequeathed to the Academy by will, concerning which see the Philological Notes of the most learned SCHWARZ on the Preface to the Institutions from the collected XII MSS. and printed books. Yet he deserves the greatest praise under either name for that Anthropologium original: "Anthropology", for the sake of which I write these things and to the fuller description of which we must now hasten.
