[1] Justinger, who had learned the trade of a chronicler in his home town, appears to have moved to the city of Bern in the last quarter of the 14th century.
[1] From 1390 until his death, Justinger served the city of Bern as a magistrate and notary public.
[1] In 1388, Justinger copied Jakob Twinger von Königshofen’s treatise Computus Novus Chirometralis.
Justinger’s handwriting furthermore appears in a number of chancellery documents of the city of Bern, such as the Udelbuch from 1390, the Satzungenbuch (German: ‘Statutes Book’) from 1398, the Freiheitenbuch (German: ‘Book of Liberties’) from 1431 as well as a Habsburg urbarium written after 1415.
[2] Conrad Justinger, whose name was frequently omitted in later publications of the Bernese Chronicle, probably died childless in April 1438.
