After returning from Italy, he received the post of municipal physician and mayor of Poznań (Posen).18 He brought a multivolume edition of Opera omnia by Claudius Galenus from Padua. One of the volumes bears a slightly damaged inscription “Inscriptus Catalogo librorum Stephanj Ciran Patavj 1605 5 D[e]c[em]b[ris] … [Inscribed in the library of Stefan Ciran. Padua 1605 5th of December]”.19 Few book owners recorded the prices of books they purchased. One exception is Laurentius Jakobejus (d. before 1641), who purchased at least five medical books in Padua and Venice. The son of a Kurzelów alderman, he went to Padua in 1613 for a medical education with the financial support of his cousin, a professor at the Cracow Academy, Jan Muscenius. In 1614, Jakobejus paid sixteen (?) pounds for Lexicon medicum Graecolatinum and seven pounds for Practica medica, written by a professor of medicine in Padua, Alessandro Massaria, in 1616.20 Two treatises of Pieter van Foreest, Observationum et curationum medic-inalium libri …, cost him four pounds in 1617.21 Jakobejus obtained the title of doctor of medicine in 1617, and after his return to Poland, he took the post of municipal physician and principal of a Cracow public school.22 The sum of

Trubar and Ungnad both knew another religious emigrant from the south, Pier Paolo Vergerio (the Younger, 1498–1565), who introduced them to one another.21 At that time Trubar was looking for funds to support his plans concerning translation and publishing and Vergerio promised him financial support from the nobility.

ballad pamphlets praise his heroic deeds as a saviour of the Habsburg lands and Europe against the Ottomans. These were published in Vienna as well as in Augsburg and Nuremberg. In this literature, Pálffy was compared to Alexander the Great and Hannibal.14 Importantly, Nicholas Pálffy was a devout Catholic and a loyal supporter of the Counter-Reformation policies of the Habsburg court. His notorious efforts against Protestant ministers in the Hungarian territories were noted with favour by the Holy See, and in the 1580s he became a friend of the papal nuncio at the imperial court.15 His statement in the dialogue with Hoca Murad Pasha, as well as his news pamphlets and other publications, emerged from this context as part of the anti-Ottoman propaganda of the Habsburg emperor. This propaganda aimed primarily to persuade the Protestant estates of the Holy Roman Empire and territories of the Austrian Habsburgs in Central Europe to grant financial support for the emperor in the struggle against the Ottomans.
