The Influence of the University on the Country in the 15th century. New Currents.

The Influence of the University on the Country in the 15th century. New Currents.

Within the walls of the Collegium majus, the sharp-arched scholastic edifice of the Jagiellonian University, a stall-shaped bench of scholars, with a lectern in the centre. Old books: grammars, Compendia of canon law – Lombard’s summa.

With his hand on Aristotelian philosophy, Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki, with St John Capistrano Bernardine behind him, views the approaching Jerome of Prague with concern.

Against the gathering of foreign guests Reuchlin, Erasmus Rotterdam, Eoban Hesse, Bebelius and Garzias from Spain, Copernicus steps forward, leaving the bench of the Kraków school.

Twardowski's astrological plotting of supernatural signs is bemoaned by John of Glogow, displaying his observations on a skull.

From afar, Veit Stoss, by the finished work of the Marian altar, with the Kraków goldsmith Grochowski and Werner the stonemason from Prague, views this new, great movement, the wind of which he must have felt.
