“Fusignano was a dominican friar of the Roman province, who held various offices in his order during the 1280s and 1290s and ended his life as bishop of Mothon in 1333.¹ His Libellus artis predicatorie (or similar titles; Caplan 115 and 220; Caplan Suppl 115) enjoyed much popularity: it survives in more than twenty manuscripts, including one of English provenance (O), and was included in several incunable editions of the equally very popular Manipulus curatorum, a pastoral manual written in 1333 by Guido de Monte Rocherii (or Rochen) “

Henricus de Hassia), was born in Hesse about 1325. He studied at Paris, where he afterwards taught philosophy, theology, astronomy, and mathematics, and finally became vice-chancellor of the university. He was one of the leaders of the opposition to the prevailing materialism and superstition. In 1390 he accepted a call as professor in the newly founded university at Vienna, was its rector in 1393, and died in 1397. He wrote, Consilium Pacis de Unione ac Reformatione Ecclesiae (in Hermann von der Hardnt’s Magnum (Ecum. Con. Consil. volume 2): — Secreta Sacerdotum, quae in Missa Teneri Debent. Henry of Langenstein is now counted among the reformers before the Reformation. See Fabricius.
