The two-volume reference work is an important part of the renowned "Verfasserlexikon zur deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters" [Author Lexicon of German Literature of the Middle Ages], and, using the established systematics of the main work, documents and presents bio-bibliographical articles from Latin literature and science in the German-speaking area between 1480 and 1520. The lexicon is a valuable reference work on German High Humanism.
