Abstract

The article focuses on the concept of a Stammbuch, or album amicorum, which served as a social record for students and notable figures to collect signatures and connections. It highlights the album of Philipp Hainhofer, a 17th-century art dealer and diplomat, showcasing his interactions with prominent individuals, including Habsburg emperor Rudolf II. Hainhofer's album features 91 artworks, including miniatures and engravings, alongside the signatures, reflecting his social and professional network. One notable page includes the autograph of Duke Philipp II of Pomerania-Stettin, accompanied by artistic representations, illustrating the significance of these connections in Hainhofer's life.
