John of Gamundia was a mathematician and professor of astronomy. At his death, in the year 1442, he was chancellor of the University of Vienna. The calendars made by him were highly esteemed, and were engraved and printed for many years after his death. In his researches after old prints, the late R. Z. Becker, of Gotha, discovered one of the original blocks of a placard or poster edition of the Calendar of John of Gamundia. He describes it as about 10 3 ⁄ 4 inches wide, 15 1 ⁄ 4 inches long and 1 1 ⁄ 2 inches thick. The block was engraved on both sides.
