Veit Arnpeck (c. 1440 in Freising – 1496 in Landshut) was a Bavarian historian. He was educated at Amberg and Vienna and later became parish priest of St. Martin's Church, Landshut and chaplain to Bishop Sixtus. He is considered a significant figure in the development of Bavarian historiography and was praised by Johannes Aventinus (Aventin) as one of his most important predecessors. His works include Chronicon Austriacum down to 1488 ( Pez, Script. rer. Austr., I, 1165), Liber de gestis episcoporum Frisingensium ( Deutinger, Beitr. z. Gesch. d. Erzbisth. Munch.-Fries., III), and the Chronicon Baioariorum (Pez, Thesaurus, III, ii, 19 sq.).
Arnpeck died early 1496 [1] in Landshut, and with reasonable certainty the cause of death was the plague. [2]
