This bibliophile edition contains two Latin poems from the period 1527-1528 concerning the City of Cracow. The first is a censure, an invective against Cracow, while the second poem sings its praises. The reproachful piece was written by an itinerant German humanist, Johann Hadelius, who spent a short spell in Cracow before leaving for Vienna; while the laudation came from the pen of another humanist, Caspar Ursinus Velius, a Silesian by birth who was active mainly in Germany, and who had much to be grateful for to the City of Cracow.
