PANDECTA?

I have previously mentioned a German Apollonius story in which Cerimon's precociously smart pupil goes by the name of Pandecta.
This name means "compilation" in Greek. And, Leipzig being the Oxford of the Continent for decades, the humour commonly displayed by university students may here have a part to play (i.e. "Pandecta" as an in-joke for humanistic students at Leipzig).
The original story, in which the "discipulus aspectu adulescens sed quantum ingenio senex" was nameless, was there analysed in the late nineteenth century. I am sure that those two sophomores, a born Leipziger and a clergyman's son from Lützen, were well-acquainted with the story cycle.
The former would, by the turn of the century, be an internationally celebrated opera composer (Richard Wagner), while the fragile and reserved Lützener would be locked up in a lunatic asylum... but not before having proclaimed the death of God, killed by secularized and life-accepting humankind. Yes, he was the author of Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
Due to health problems, the young Friedrich Nietzsche also spent his childhood reading in bed, and he lacked social skills. Perhaps Wagner and other Leipzig classmates saw the bookish Lützener as a nerd, or perhaps as the pupil in the novel, "a young man, but possessing the wisdom of old age". Or perhaps as both?
