As house officer of Hanns Trennbeck of Trennbach (d. 1468), friar Gruber repaid his master’s favour by writing a prose chronicle of the Trennbecks from the origins to his own time, based on sources like registers and gravestones. Parts of the work are transmitted as excerpts in two 16th-century chronicles commissioned by bishop Urban of Trennbach (d. 1598). The Tren-nbach-Chronik, Gruber’s main transmitter, was written by  Johannes Auer in 1552, and finished and painted by  Leonhart Abent in 1590. It sur-vives in a well conserved manuscript of 311 small-folio pages ( St. Pölten, LA, Hs. 327) and includes portraits of the family members, arms and genea-logical trees. The other witness is the third part of the Bayrisches Stammbuch by  Wiguleus Hundt.BibliographyLiterature: F. Schanze, VL2 3, 285f.Elena Di Venosa
