| Publisher Description: Der zeitliche Rahmen der 136 Briefe dieses Bandes reicht von Reuchlins Studium bis in sein 51. Lebensjahr. In dieser Zeit entstehen sein Dialog De verbo mirifico, die Komodien Sergius und Henno sowie seine im Marz 1506 veroffentlichte hebraische Grammatik. Der Briefwechsel liefert vielfaltiges Material zur Genese dieser und anderer Werke Reuchlins und beleuchtet ihre zeitgenossische Rezeption. Eine Reihe von bisher unveroffentlichten Briefen ermoglicht erstmals Einblicke in Reuchlins Tatigkeit als Rat und Richter. Zu den ca. 80 Briefpartnern dieses Bandes gehoren Rudolf Agricola, Sebastian Brant, Marsilio Ficino, Aldo Manuzio, Lorenzo de' Medici und Jakob Sprenger. Im Anhang befinden sich weitere wichtige Dokumente. The 136 letters in this volume were written between Reuchlins time as a student and the 51st year of his life. During this time, he wrote the dialogue De verbo mirifico, the comedies Sergius and Henno as well as a Hebrew grammar, published in March of 1506. The correspondence provides a great deal of material on the origins of these and other works by Reuchlins and sheds light on their reception at that time. A series of previously unpublished letters enables the very first insights into Reuchlin's work as a councillor and a judge. Among the 80 correspondents in this volume are Rudolf Agricola, Sebastian Brant, Marsilio Ficino, Aldo Manuzio, Lorenzo de Medici and Jakob Sprenger. The appendix contains further important documents. |
