Quote:The chaplain and later dean Heinrich Laufenberg probably came from the city of Freiburg, where he was probably born around 1390. He is mentioned by name in 1411 as the copyist of Boner's ›Edelstein‹, where he describes himself in the colophon as Schriftriben hat Heinricus Disz buoch ... Er was von Friburg us Brisgow (formerly Strasbourg, City Library, Cod. B 94). He died on 31 March 1460 in the monastery Am Grünen Wörth in Strasbourg, which he had entered in 1445 and in whose possession his works remained. His works (with the exception of the ›Regimen‹) were handed down in only one manuscript, which was destroyed in the fire at the Strasbourg City Library in 1880. In addition to his second textbook, the ›Mirror of Human Salvation‹, this fate also affects his third textbook, the ›Book of Figures‹ (No. 85.7.1.), his collection of songs, rhyming couplets and prose texts. Some of these texts have survived to us at least in fragments, as researchers had already taken up their work before their destruction, such as Wackernagel (1864–1877) of the spiritual songs that he printed, or Engelhardt (1823) and Massmann (1832), who provided excerpts from the ›Book of Figures‹. The only text witness of the ›Book of Figures‹ was richly illustrated with 137 pen drawings, of which only one is available in print. Whether there was a text template and where it came from is still unknown (Konrad von Alzey can be considered refuted: Wachinger [1985a]; Nemes [2015] p. 12).
