personal notebook of Nicolaus Gugler, then student at the University of Wittenberg (inner front cover: ‘Est scriptus iste liber Witaebergae per Nicolaum Gugler anno salutis nostrae 1536, tunc temporis astronomiae et medicinae studiosum’; f. 1r: ‘Per me Nicolaum Gugler astronomiae et medicinae studiosum, 1536’), except f. 332-370, copied in Johannes Schöner’s house in Nürnberg on 30 November 1538 (f. 332r: ‘descriptum ex manu sive chyrographo Gaurici anno 1538 adj. ultimo Novembris Norimbergae in aedibus Schoneri tunc temporis astrologi excellentissimi fœlici sydere’).
