Latin inscriptions

dedication for Johannes Aventinus in the book “Annales Boiorum”

The Latin inscriptions are exclusively written in capital letters, partly they are hardly readable, tightly set or abbreviated. But they remain of a bible verse or have been several times cited (see also image beside), when they sometimes were complemented. Additions are below marked with angle brackets ⟨…⟩. Note, that originally no distinction between U and V exists, and that some ligatures like Æ are used. Special is the use of Θ: That is the Greek letter Theta standing here as abbreviation for “death” (greek

θάνατος

) or “died” (

ἀπέθανε, τέθνηκε, θανατωτέον

), compare Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon, Θθ.

Text on top

Bible verse Hiob 19, 25 (Bibleserver, Vulgata, several varying English translations available), the second word enim (“namely”) is omitted:

Scio quod redemptor meus vivit et in novissimo die de terra surrectur⟨us⟩ sum.

Text on ribbon, left side

Nascentes morimur.

(Just born, we are dying.)

Text on ribbon, right side

Homo bul⟨l⟩a est.

(Man is ⟨like⟩ a bubble.)

(To the greatest and best God.
Johannes Aventinus, a man of singular learning,
provided with loyalty and piety, he was the ornament of
his country ⟨and⟩ for admiration of strangers. ⟨He was⟩
the most studious of Bavaria and Germania, a very astute tracker
of old events, a lover of the true religion and all honorable,
whome this monument was built for as memory for posterity.
Deceased on the 5th day before the Ides of January in 1534.
(That is the 9th of January, 1534.)
