The multi-volume Plezl's book discussed in the other thread features not only biography of M(n)ishowsky, but also (in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.) the biography of Hořčický. The latter biography has also been consulted by the Voynich researchers in the past.
I observed that Rene has the following record in his timeline list (see here: #2009):
Now, I recognize that the biography of the said man Ferus is also included in the third volume of Plezl's book! It is on page 110. A quick glance shows me that Ferus had some relation to the college's library and printing. I see some intriguing phrases as "Clementinische buchdruckerei" and "600 Bande in der Bibliothek".
I can't read German fluently, and the poor transcription makes it difficult to use Google translator in this case. Could somebody read the Ferus biography please and advise if something interesting is found in there?
