abstract
An analysis of a late medieval treatise De modulo studendi (On the Manner of Studying) which has passed unnoticed for far. The anonymous text survives in a sole manuscript dated 1450’s–1460’s and owned by the Carthusian monastery in Olomouc. Although it seems impossible to identify the author, his career is reconstructed based on the information he provides within the text. The comparison with other medieval didactic tracts (especially those by Pseudo-Boethius, Hugh of Saint Victor, and Martin of Prague) point to the unique features of De modulo studendi, namely the width of the field covered combined with specificity of the advice given, its language consciousness, and its usability by autodidacts.
