To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of its two divisions, the first was devoted to the study of mathematics, physics and astronomy, the second to that of poetry and rhetoric. The right of the coronation of poets, which had hitherto lain with the Emperor alone, was now vested by Maximilian in Celtes, as director of his own creation. The most distinguished scholars were to receive the crown of laurel, as a mark of high distinc- tion and as an incentive to further efforts. But this privilege was exercised by Celtes for the first and... last time, when in 1502 he crowned Stabius, his former colleague at Ingolstadt, and now Professor of Mathe- matics and Astronomy at Vienna. All subsequent coronations of poets were by Maximilian himself ; ^^^ and the College of Poets fell into disuse after the death of Celtes in 1508. Even had worthy succes- sors to Celtes and Stabius been found, it is doubtful whether the College would have had a permanent existence. Its hybrid position, as an independent institution and yet an integral part of the University, was a source of endless bickerings and quarrels, which can scarcely have been a recommendation to foreign scholars.
