 Here Wilhelm von Reichenau, humanist and bishop of Eichstätt, can be identified as a source of ideas and intellectual background.Wilhelm had studied together with Johannes Pirckheimer, the father of Willibald Pirckheimer, at the University of Padua and represents a typical early representative of early Humanism in Germany with Italian roots.In Johannes Pirckheimer's library there was also a copy of the "Germania", which he probably had acquired during his studies in the 1460s.
