Eyb is the name of an old Franconian noble family which is named after Eyb in Ansbach.

Eighth Edition of this important work of German Humanism. Albrecht von Eyb one of the earliest German Humanists was born in 1420 near Ansbach. Eyb went to Italy and devoted himself to humanistic study at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna. He returned to Germany in 1451 having been appointed Canon at Eichstätt and Bamberg. From 1452 to 1459 he was again a student at Bologna gaining the degree of doctor in 1459. That same year Eyb wrote Margarita poetica in honor of his mother Margarete von Wolmershausen. It was first published in Nuremberg by Johann Senschschmidt in 1472 and reprinted at least 13 times by 1503. It remained a popular manual of classical rhetoric by its three distinct focuses: letter-writing model orations and florilegia compilation of excerpts. The work is known for its vivid expression found within selected passages from classical and contemporary authors from Cicero to Petrarch. The Catholic Encyclopedia calls it a textbook of humanistic rhetoric consisting of a collection of passages in prose and verse from Latin authors to which are added specimens of humanistic eloquence.
