Abstract

SUMMARY:A bio-bibliography is given of Johannes Enclen de Cusa, of whom appeared several books in the first half of the sixteenth century. The first of these was an « Algorismus proiectilium », printed in Zwolle, 1502. Johannes Enclen was born in Kues on the Mosel in about 1480. It may be possible, that he had his education in Zwolle or Deventer (Bursa Cusana). He was a clergy-man and stayed in Zwolle, Vienna, Leipzig, Lubeck, where he was exiled in 1523, Antwerp and Paris. His books, most of which he edited at his own expense, were not original. A next article will be devoted to the « Algorismus proiectilium » mentioned above.
