This edition, a Czech-language edition of De remediis utriusque fortunae from the very beginning of the sixteenth century, has been translated by Rehor Hrubý (known as Gregorius Gelenius in the Latinized form of his name; ca. 1460-1514). Petrarch's works circulated in the Slavic east as well as the Roman west and Germanic north. His themes—as is indicated by the highly conventional title-page illustration of Fortune's Wheel to which the book is open—were familiar to a wide European audience.
