Leonhartus Albertus, a Czech humanist of the era of the emperor Rudolph II., wrote a poem on glass-making at the beginning of the 17th century. This poem consisting of 50 elegiac distichs is based on one sermon from the Bergpostill by Johann Mathesius, the famous preacher from Joachimstal. In style of mannerism, the poet compares fragility of glass with that of human life. Besides the very topic which is really rare in the Latin humanist poetry of the Czech lands, and is more characteristic for the genre of sermons and epitaphs, also the fact is of interest that the poem was published in two parallel languages – Latin and German, probably with regard to the patron of the author Joseph Gantz, the war treasurer in Upper Hungary, to whom the poem is dedicated. Both texts are edited, commented and accompanied by the modern German and Czech translation.

De bello Pannonico by Johannes Czernovicenus is the only Neo-Latin epos from the Early Modern Czech Lands describing the events of the wars with the Turks. Its author, the respected burgher and councillor of the Old Town of Prague, was at the turn of the seventeenth century a member of the group of poets around Paulus Gisbicius, who were close to the court of Rudolf II. The epos itself consists of six books, comprising 7,455 dactylic hexameters and including events from 1591–1605. Czernovicenus published De bello Pannonico in print fourteen years later in 1619, on the occasion of the coronation of Frederick of the Palatinate as the King of Bohemia. Apart from the addition of accompanying poems, there was a need to somehow modify the content of the epic itself to reflect the political needs at the time. This work is typical evidence of the thesis that no work of literature can be studied without examining the context of its creation and the circumstances of its publication.

Gelenius, scholar of Czech origin and corrector in the Frobenian printing house in Basle, friend of Erasmus and Melanchthon, was an object of research of the Czech classical philologists in the 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th century. After the World War II, attention was paid rather to his father Řehoř Hrubý, translator of Erasmus, Italian humanists and Church Fathers into Czech. There are, therefore, results of recent very precise foreign research which brings new facts on the life of Sigismundus Gelenius in Basle, namely studies by Pierre Petitmengin on Gelenius, his work and correspondence, and the commentaries to the edition of the Amerbach-Correspondences by Beat R. Jenny and Alfred Hartmann. Present paper tries to summarize the Czech research on Gelenius and to bring new information from the recent foreign literature. Special attention was focused on his activity at the Frobenian press, his communication with other humanists and patrons of his editions. Also the family of Sigismundus is introduced, above all with description of the life of his sons. Besides his prosaic works (two consolations) and correspondence also his Lexicum symphonum is mentioned and discussed in the connection with former opinion on his authorship of the so called Dictionariolum hexaglosson. Two newly discovered documents to the life and after-life of Gelenius’ work are published in appendix – the letter of Vigle van Aytta to Gelenius and the letter of Antonín Truhlář from the time when he donated his collection of Gelenian prints to the Library of the National Museum.
