Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The year 1621 saw the anonymous publication of a text under the anagrammatically encoded title Querela Sufredi missa Vinoni, reflecting the defeat of the 'Winterkönig' and its far-reaching consequences in the medium of elegiac lament. The fictitious speaker is the militarily and politically isolated Elector Palatine Frederick v. who bitterly addresses the dissolving Protestant Union, allegorically represented as an unfaithful wife. The Latin text substantially and structurally combines elements of (love) elegy, heroic epistle, and verse satire. The article confronts this so far unknown piece of poetry with a prominent counterpart, a satirical heroic epistle by the jesuit Jacob Balde, and analyses it with respect to its specific religious and political tendencies.
