A German epigrammatist; born at Brockut, Silesia, June 1604; died at Liegnitz, July 24, 1655. He wrote under the pseudonym "Salomon von Golau", anagram of his true name. His works are: "First Century of German Rhymed Adages" (1638); "Three Thousand German Epigrams" (1654). He was an original thinker and a forceful writer, but soured by adversity and by contemplation of the evils of his time.
By Charles Dudley Warner
