Iohannes Iacobus a Cruce de Mutina

Little is known about this author. It is probably the same person who wrote a letter to Konrad Celtis in 1502 concerning a requested description of the Nonsberg (Rupprich 1934, 471–472). He was therefore an acquaintance of Celtis and probably a member of Sigismund’s court. From the title we learn that he came from Modena in northern Italy and lived in Cles in the Non Valley (Nonstal).
