!!!Sodalitas litteraria Danubiana

Sodalitas litteraria Danubiana, founded by K.  Celtis and other 
humanists in 1497 in Vienna. It was an association of scholars from 
the Danube area, similar to the  Collegium poetarum et mathematicorum, 
which was founded at the University of Vienna by Emperor 
Maximilian I in 1501. Sodalitas litteraria Danubiana had about 40 
members, including Vienna's mayor M.  Siebenbuerger and other 
personalities such as J.  Cuspinian, L.  Sunthaym, K. Peutinger ( 
Peutingersche Tafel) and J.  Stabius. It sought to pursue humanist 
ideas and to support literature. Its members usually met in the house 
of J. Cuspinian, who was the chairman of the association from 1508. 
After Celtis' death, activities decreased and the sodality was 
dissolved in 1520.
