    AnnotationThis article deals with the ways in which Georg Handsch (1529-1578), a Bohemian humanist and court physician serving under Archduke Ferdinand II, communicated with his patrons and learned friends. By analysing his occasional poems and marginal comments preserved in a huge manuscript volume housed at the Austrian National library in Vienna (ÖNB), the article demonstrates how Handsch expanded his scholarly networks over his lifetime. Its main research question is which styles, rhetorical strategies and modes of self-fashioning he used while approaching different groups of patrons and scholars.
