Between 1438 and 1443 the proceedings of the Council of Basel with
some interruptions, were recorded at first hand by Council Notary
Jakob Hüglin (ca. 1400-1484). Hüglin, a canon lawyer, was provost
of the collegiate church of St. Ursus in Solothurn from 1455 until
his death in 1484. Thus these original notes on the proceedings,
together with other conciliar documents, eventually made their way
into the Solothurn City Library.
