The Poetic Works of Helius Eobanus Hessus: Volume 5: A Veritable Proteus, 1524–1528
As the University of Erfurt collapsed in the early 1520s, Hessus faced losing his livelihood. To cope, he imagined himself a shape-changing Proteus. Transforming first into a lawyer, then a physician, he finally became a teacher at the Nuremberg academy organized by Philip Melanchthon. Volume 5 traces this story via Hessus's poems of 1524-1528: "Some Rules for Preserving Good Health" (1524; 1531), with attached "Praise of Medicine" and two sets o…

Lend a Voice”: The Humanistic Portrait Epigraph in the Age of Erasmus and Dürer
In the early 1500s, a genre of portraiture emerged in Northern Europe that combines bust portraits of humanistic intellectuals and patrons with elegant Latin and Greek epigraphs. While the likenesses have long had the benefit of expert attention, the same cannot always be said of the inscriptions. In consequence, many questions still go begging. It remains unknown, for example, who wrote these anonymous texts; whether the artists composed any of …

Deaf as Ulysses to the Siren's Song: The Story of a Forgotten Topos
Avaunt, Inchantress! - I am deaf as Adders;Deaf as Ulysses to the Sireni Song,Who strove in vain to lure him to Destruction.— Lewis TheobaldRichly suggestive on a variety of levels, Odysseus's encounter with the Sirens in Homer's Odyssey remains one of the best-known episodes in world literature. This article exhumes a once popular variant of that story and tells how wise Ulysses, contrary to the ancient myth, came to stop his own ears against al…

The Ages of Erasmus and the Year of His Birth
It is a Perennial Paradox of Erasmus studies that neither the wealth of autobiographical information that the Dutch humanist has left us nor the enormous mass of scholarly literature that has grown up around his life and works has ever given us a firm grip on the year of his birth and the chronology of his youth. We do not know with certainty, for example, how old Erasmus was when he entered Steyn monastery. If he were born in 1466, as he indicat…
That Familiar Proverb: Folly as the Elixir of Youth in Erasmus's Moraie Ecomium
In order to make good her claim to be of all divinities the most important and generous, Folly in Erasmus's Moriae encomium begins her argument, according to rhetorical theory and practice, with the strongest proofs in her arsenal. First of all, she argues, it is she who has given us life, the greatest gift of all. Who among us would have been born without our parents’ folly? Second, it is the spice of folly that makes life enjoyable. For what is…
The Motto and Woodcut to Chapter 32 of Sebastian Brant's Narrenschiff
Chapter 32 of Brant's Narrenschiff, entitled Von frowen huetten, mocks the proverbially fruitless task of guarding a woman's virtue; for if your wife is chaste she does not need guards to keep her out of mischief, and if she is not, your jealous guarding will only enf lame her the more. As Juvenal laments in a famous passage to which Brant alludes in lines 6-10: 'Pone seram, cohibe.' sed quis custodiet ipsos / Custodes? cauta est et ab illis inci…
