-
A Silesian poet; born at Nimpsch in Silesia, Jan. 25, 1635; died at Breslau, April 28, 1683. He wrote a volume of lyric verse, "Flowers"; six tragedies; and a long hero-romance, "The Magnanimous General Arminius or Hermann, with his Most Illustrious Thusnelda", etc. (new ed. 1889-90). This mammoth work, of 3076 double-column pages, and unfinished at that, was in its day regarded as the consummate model of the heroic-gallant romance. His lyrics are tasteless; his tragedies insufferably bombastic.
