Abstract This contribution sketches out the broad field of tobacco literature, which spread rapidly in the 16 th century. A single leaf print by Sigmund von Birken (1652) shows discourses for and against the consumption of tobacco. Central to my examination are two poems about the topic (1720 and 1718), which will be interpreted with regard to their contexts. The school rector of Nordhausen, Johann Joachim Meier (1682–1736), wrote a satire in Latin verses (provided here with text, translation, and commentary) against the disastrous consumption of tobacco among pupils and students. This text works with impressive framings (such as the nightly visitation of Apollo at the teacher’s sickbed) and provides a quite informative, polyhistorical commentary of contemporary tobacco literature. This poem will be compared to Johann Christian Günther’s student song “Lob des Knaster-Tobacks”, a text that praises pleasure and joy, using arguments of natural law. Within the horizon of comparable poems (e.g. Canitz), Günther repels religious and institutional paternalism, thus showing separating concepts of life and behavioral norms.
这一贡献概述了烟草文学的广阔领域,它在16世纪迅速传播。西格蒙德·冯·伯肯(Sigmund von Birken, 1652年)的单页印刷品显示了支持和反对烟草消费的言论。我考试的中心是关于这个主题的两首诗(1720年和1718年),这两首诗将根据它们的上下文进行解释。诺德豪森的校长约翰·约阿希姆·迈耶(1682-1736)用拉丁语写了一首讽刺诗(附原文、翻译和评论),反对小学生和学生吸烟造成的灾难性后果。这篇文章用令人印象深刻的框架(比如阿波罗在老师的病床上的夜间访问),并提供了一个相当翔实的,多历史的当代烟草文学评论。这首诗将被拿来与约翰·克里斯蒂安·格恩瑟的学生歌曲《Lob des Knaster-Tobacks》进行比较,后者是一首赞美快乐和快乐的歌曲,使用了自然法则的论据。在可比性诗歌(如Canitz)的视野中,g nther排斥宗教和制度上的家长式作风,从而表现出生活观念和行为规范的分离。

Abstract The aim of this article is to outline several aspects of a canon of early modern German literature as they had been discussed by a volume Klassiker der Frühen Neuzeit (ed. Regina Toepfer) in 2022. In the light of recent criticism of any conception of canon as an outcome of hegemonial thinking as well as considering the increasing disregard of early modern literature even in universities, it is foremost the Early Modern Literature Studies who are urged to discuss the question of whether there are sufficient reasons for upholding a literary canon at least to a certain degree and whether texts of the early modern period can or must be part of such a canon.

Abstract On several layers, Fortunatus can be described as a liminal text. This does not only apply to the level of materiality or the readership of the novel but in particular to content and structure. Using an anthropological perspective and assessing the numerous transitions which the main protagonists, Fortunatus and his son Andolosia, undergo, this article demonstrates that these transitions ultimately result in the different outcomes for the two generations. In addition, the woodcuts of the text’s first edition undermine this reading through their arrangement. In conclusion, the structural order in combination with its figurative elaboration shape the character of the text as a negotiation of rites of passage.

Abstract This article deals with knowledge of the future in German drama of the 17 th century. Within eight case studies the author focusses on scenes of predictions from Jacob Bidermanns Cenodoxus (1602, dt. 1635) to Christian Weises Marschall von Biron (1687). Open models of the future exist side by side with a deterministic understanding of time. However, also contemporary events play a role in the dramas, but they are not emphasized as present.

Abstract In Pamphilus Gengenbach’s famous carnival play Der Nollhart (1517), ten characters discuss their future with four prophets: Nollhart, Methodius, Birgitta, and Sibylla. The play, its protagonists, and especially its prognostic and apocalyptic motifs have been the subject of scholarly interest for decades, but the Jew who enters the stage at the end of the play has been largely absent from research. This article focuses on this gap and argues that Gengenbach not only used the Jew to reproduce anti-Jewish sentiments and stereotypes, but also introduced him as a fifth prophet in the play. If Christians failed to recognize the signs of the end of days and act accordingly, the Jewish past and present – as depicted by Gengenbach’s Jew – would become a Christian future filled with captivity, death, loss, and abandonment. Accordingly, Der Nollhart is a remarkable example of how Gengenbach established the present and future through a Jewish past.

Abstract This article focuses on the relation between early-modern discourses on the interpretation of dreams, esp. prophetic dreams, and the novel. Rabelais’ Tiers livre , Sorel’s Histoire comique de Francion and Grimmelshausen’s Simplicissimus Teutsch all betray a detailed awareness of this type of prognostic knowledge, on whose epistemological claims, however, they launch severe, often comical attacks. Instead, they implicitly advocate for a different conception of the future, whose inherent unpredictability finds itself at odds with the idea of knowing it in advance ( pro-gnosis ). At the same time, this new temporality constitutes a chief characteristic of the genre of the novel itself.

Abstract This article deals with the different versions of the Losbuch der Beginen und Begarden . A comparative analysis of various selected parameters shows the ‘flexibility’ of the text and its illustrations. It is possible that its unique success – as confirmed by its broad tradition – is precisely due to its open structure. The exemplary observations in this article are imbedded in rather general thoughts on the genre ‘Losbuch’ (sortes).
