Poeta archivorum monumentis illustratus: Archivarischer Neublick auf Johannes Scheffler

New archival findings, as well as well-known if previously little-used documents, supplement and sometimes even change our view of Johannes Scheffler. They allow us to delve into the topics of both the life and the confessional and charitable activities of the Wroclaw resident in a more objective and diverse way than it was sometimes the case in the poet's biographies, now even a hundred years old. In this regard, the monograph can be seen as a call to return to documented facts, at least where the archival materials are available.
