The present discussion sheds light on the life and works of JohannKlinger (1557−1610),  a prominent albeit obscure figure of Mitteleuropean intellectual life at the end of the sixteenth century. During his particularly fruitful stay in Olomouc in the years 1597 and 1598, where he taught at a Jesuit college, a number of his poems were published, although none under his own name. In 1598, one of his Olomouc pupils, Mikołaj Lubomirski, saw to press a collection of Klinger’s technopaegnia, which was the earliest such anthology to be published in Poland. Lubomirski’s album, partially preserved at the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow (BJ 5575), allows us to bring Klinger back from oblivion.
