Abstract :
Nikolaus Besler OESA was one of the most notable representatives of the order at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th centuries. In the German observant congregation he held several positions as a prior of various friaries, as a delegate to Rome, as a companion of the vicar general on visitation journeys, definitor in chapters, etc. He left two versions of his autobiographical records until 1525, which are presented here in an annotated edition.
