The Poetic Works of Helius Eobanus Hessus: Between Erasmus and Luther, 1518-1524 (Renaissance Society of America) (Renaissance Society of America, 6)

In this volume, Eobanus Hessus turns from passionate Erasmian into staunch defender of Luther, only to find himself caught in the no-man's-land between the two titans. Under Erasmus' spell, he writes \'Itinerary of My Journey to Erasmus, \' \'On the Restoration of Studies at Erfurt, \' epigrams against Edward Lee, and \'Short Preface to the 'Enchiridion.'\' Changing course in 1521, he publishes \'Elegies in Praise and Defense of Luther\' and \'Letter of the Afflicted Church to Luther.\' Thereafter, amid tumults and academic collapse, he battles the radical preachers in \'Some Letters of Illustrious Men Concerning the More Humane Studies\' and \'Three Dialogues.\' Two elegies serve as intermezzos: a \'Consolation\' to the imprisoned William of Brunswick and a patriotic \'Invective\' against Johannes Dantiscus ‎Contents ‎List of Illustrations ‎Acknowledgments ‎Addendum to Volume 2 ‎Corrigenda and Addenda to Volume 3 ‎A profectione ad Desiderium Erasmum Roterodamum hodoeporicon An Itinerary of My Journey to Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Oratio de studiorum instauratione in inclyta Schola Erphurdiensi A Speech on the Restoration of Studies at the Celebrated University of Erfurt Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎In Eduardum Leeum epigrammata Epigrams against Edward Lee Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Praefaciuncula in Enchiridion Christiani militis A Short Preface to the Enchiridion of the Christian Soldier Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎In evangelici Doctoris Martini Lutheri laudem defensionemque elegiae Elegies in Praise and Defense of the Evangelical Doctor Martin Luther Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Ecclesiae afflictae epistola ad Lutherum Letter of the Afflicted Church to Luther Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎De non contemnendis studiis humanioribus, futuro theologo maxime necessariis, aliquot clarorum virorum ad Eobanum Hessum epistolae Some Letters of Illustrious Men to Eobanus Hessus concerning the More Humane Studies, Which, So Far from Deserving Contempt, Are Thoroughly Indispensable for the Aspiring Theologian Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Ad illustrissimum Principem Guilielmum, Ducem Brunsvigensem etc., apud hostes captivum, consolatio A Consolation to That Most Illustrious Prince William, Duke of Brunswick etc., Held Captive among His Enemies Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎In poetam Sarmatam Germanos ignaviae insimulantem invectiva An Invective against the Sarmatian Poet Who Basely Accuses the Germans of Cowardice Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Dialogi tres Three Dialogues Illustrations ‎Introduction ‎Text and Translation ‎Supplementary Notes ‎Notes to A profectione ad Desiderium Erasmum Roterodamum hodoeporicon ‎Notes to Oratio de studiorum instauratione ‎Notes to In Eduardum Leeum epigrammata ‎Notes to Praefaciuncula in Enchiridion Christiani militis ‎Notes to In evangelici Doctoris Martini Lutheri laudem defensionemque elegiae ‎Notes to Ecclesiae afflictae epistola ad Lutherum ‎Notes to De non contemnendis studiis humanioribus epistolae ‎Notes to Ad illustrissimum Principem Guilielmum consolatio ‎Notes to In poetam Sarmatam invectiva ‎Notes to Dialogi tres ‎List of Abbreviations ‎Index of Medieval and Neo-Latin Words ‎Glossarial Index ‎General Index
