Albertus Löffler was the most productive scribe of the Dominican Monastery of Basel. The only manuscript of rhetorical content in his hand contains the so-called Summa Iovis and works by Nikolaus de Dybin. Löffler copied them during his studies in Heidelberg in 1438 and 1439. This composite manuscript became part of the chained library of the Dominican Convent of Basel. (gam/flr)

The account of the delegation of the Council of Basel to Greece was in large part written by the Council notary Jakob Hüglin (ca. 1400–1484). Hüglin was active at the Council as a notary (from 1432) and as a scribe (from 1435). In 1437, together with the notary Dietrich Winckelman, he accompanied the delegation to Constantinople. Part of the manuscript served as the exemplar for the manuscript Hs 4 of the Episcopal Archive of the Bishopric of Basel in Solothurn. (mut)

This composite manuscript contains acts of the delegation of the Council of Basel to Constantinople, declarations of protest, and notarial instruments. It previously had a limp binding made from a 1436 marriage dispensation charter, which today is stored separately. The majority of the manuscript consists of a report on the mission to Greece and is partially based on Jakob Hüglin's notes conserved in the Hs 3 of the Episcopal Archive of the Bishopric of Basel in Solothurn. Jakob Hüglin (ca. 1400–1484) was active at the Council of Basel as notary from 1432, and as scribe from 1435. In 1437, together with the notary Dietrich Winckelman, he accompanied the delegation to Constantinople. The trip lasted a year, until February 1438. The composite manuscript consists of 17 fascicules, which are sewn together and were copied by different scribes. (mut)
