Title: German celebratory verse (Gelegenheitsdichtung) : collection
Identifier/Call Number: M1027
Identifier/Call Number: 1055
Physical Description:
0.75 Linear Feet
(140 pieces)
Date (inclusive): 1550-1750
Abstract: These poems celebrate marriages, funerals, births, farewells, New Years, inaugurations and installations, and fests and feasts.
The collection concentrates on Lower Saxony in the era of George I, elector of Hanover and King of England. An indication
of the many-layered culture of this society is the welter of languages used in these tracts. There are verses in French, Italian,
Greek, Hebrew, Dutch, and Niederdeutsch, in addition to Latin and German. The French verses date from the reign of George
I, who was inclined to imitate the court of Louis XIV. One of the Niederdeutsch poems is a burlesque on a betrothal, indicating
that the Low German dialect was considered appropriate for joking and ribald humor. Many typefaces were used; many of the
works were printed on the first presses of a particular city. At Lüneburg there was no press before 1616; this town is represented
by five manuscripts.
Collection Scope and Content Summary
This collection of German celebratory verse (Gelegenheitsdichtung) comprises 140 pieces, every one of very great rarity. Their
rarity symbolizes the fragmented and disparate state of German literature between the end of the Renaissance, about 1550 in
Germany, and the beginning of the creation of a national literature, after 1750. Between these two impulses German literature
developed in uncommon genres that were deeply fertile in succeeding ages. Celebratory verse is one of these. The initial impulse
of German humanism was expressed in the circle of neo-Latin writers centered in Nuremberg and in the universities of Tubingen
and Erfurt. Speaking broadly, we may say that this energy was largely absorbed by the Reformation and diverted from literature
to religion. With the exception of Frischlin and a few other dramatists, only philologists at work on Greek grammars and concordances
represented the humane letters in the last half of the century. After about 1750, German literature began its greatest period.
The French influence, the growing prosperity of the large towns, and Germany's indigenous traditions prepared the way on which
Goethe above all and many others created Germany's national literature for the first time in a European context. In between
these two eras lay a different and yet classic Germany.
It was a land of over 300 separate territories, each identifying with its own, separate, intimately held, and jealously defended
privileges, customs, rights, and laws. Time honored each of these communities by long and rich traditions, whether ruled by
archbishop, count, prince or king, or a free town or imperial city. The institution of the Empire had really ceased to matter
from about 1600: every effort of the Emperor displayed his weakness, and the Diet was an assembly of ambassadors who never
debated and mostly waited for instructions from their sovereigns. It was a poor country, struggling for nearly a century to
overcome the devastation of the Thirty Years War. In this environment, literature in Germany lacked a national style and national
subjects, just as Germany itself had no capital and no uniform system of weights and measures. Thus the development of a national
literature has been called "the almost miraculous creation of a soul without a body". This marvellous effort was sustained
in isolation and poverty in the period from 1550 to 1750 through several literary and channels, gathering strength in circumstances
free of a dominant "taste: and of critical convention. One of the most important of these was the genre of celebratory verse.
In it, as in the picaresque novel, or the brilliant Baroque poetry of the seventeenth century, one finds the complex and flavorful
life of the Germans. These poems celebrate marriages, funerals, births, farewells, New Years, inaugurations and installations,
and fests and feasts. Thus each poem is a memento for us of a circumstance or an event that is rich in color, full of aspirations
and struggles. The verse leaflets in this collection show a full range of the religious, political, and social textures of
the times and are, in spite of their ephemerality, indispensable documents of this history. This collection concentrates on
Lower Saxony in the era of George I, elector of Hanover and King of England. The deep observation of this place and time made
possible by this collections shows the strength and weakness of German society and literature in this period:long blood ties
and intimate geographical relationships that bound the communities and the region strongly together and at the same time fostered
a provincial rather than a national loyalty. Saxony mirrored the political complexity of Germany. For centuries, including
and especially the seventeenth century, there was a dizzying barter exchange of these communities from one princely hand to
another. Ulneberg, an important town in the 1500's, was, with Celle, perhaps the most frequently traded. Similarly, the towns
of the area of Braunschweig represent the most culturally rich and produàtive area of Germany in the late seventeenth century.
Thus the collection exactly centers on the most interesting example of a typical state.
An indication of the many-layered culture of this society is the welter of languages used in these tracts. There are verses
in French, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, Dutch, and Niederdeutsch, in addition to Latin and German. The French verses date from
the reign of George I, who was inclined to imitate the court of Louis XIV. One of the Niederdeutsch poems is a burlesque on
a betrothal, indicated that the Low German dialect was considered appropriate for joking and ribald humor. The use of these
languages gave rise to the use of many typefaces. The collections includes works from the first press at Helmstedt with specimens
of its Greek typeface; later, a considerable amount of classical philology was printed there. At Luneburg there was no press
before 1616, so that this town is represented by five sixteenth-century manuscripts of celebratory verse. Many of the works
printed by the first presses in Uelzen, Helmstedt, Wittenberg, and Hannover concern Lilneberg families, who went to these
neighbouring towns for what their own city could not supply. It is that kind of story which makes this collection a singular
resource. By concentrating on Lower Saxony, a culturally and historically rich part of Germany that suffered more than anywhere
else in the Thirty Years War, it makes it possible to learn many stories of the lives of its people. The relationships of
families, attitudes toward events, the whole structure of friendship and association are, from a sociological point of view,
revealed in these verses. They show in an unguarded moment the power structure of the day. This period also saw the final
separation of Hanoverian territory from Saxony, so that we are able to glimpse the royal court at Hannover at a great period
in its history, c. 1680-1730. Leibniz was the greatest figure here, and some of the verses celebrate his friends and associates,
such as Gerhardt Molanus and Rudolf Wagner. Some had relied on Leibniz for academic promotions or corresponded for him on
philosophical matters. One pamphlet concerns Nicolaus Förster, the court book dealer; another, Hermann von der Hardt, librarian
to Rudolf August von Braunschweig. Because of the rarity of such leaflets and broadsides as these, they remain a relatively
new source for the study of life and literature. Like the old town statute books re-discovered by the recent French historians,
these gently uncover the intimate life of places long ago and far away, revealing to us the reality of that life. It is in
this connection that we return to the literary importance of celebratory verse. This genre was a format in which ordinary
people could write creatively for everyday use. These are precisely the opposite of literature for literature's sake: they
are practical literature, for people celebrating and ornamenting the great events of ordinary life. The pace of life in Germany
was slow, and literary composition was very individualistic, even eccentric. For this reason we find acrostics, chronograms,
anagrams, and puns throughout these texts. Thus celebratory verse was the acceptable, available, and inevitable channel in
which German literature flowed during these difficult centuries. Because of this the genre will play an important role in
the expanding study of Baroque German rhetoric and critical theory. It was a part of contemporary discourse in which almost
anyone could practise his compositional skills. Works such as W. Barner's important Barok Rhetorik have already begun to take
it into account. Rudolf Lenz has devoted a great deal of attention to German funeral orations, resulting in catalogues of
the collections in Marburg and Giessen. It is thus of great importance to assemble and to hold catalogued collections. Within
Germany, many of these texts are unknown: of the ill imprints from Lower Saxony, only 15 are to be found in the most comprehensive
bibliography. Leibniz is the most intensively studied figure of the period, and yet the poem he wrote for his ailing patron
is unrecorded in this form, its first appearance in print. None of the sixteenth century imprints is in the British Library;
very few, if any, of the 140 titles are in the National Union Catalogue. The many social and literary implications of these
texts are an instance of one of the very good reasons for collecting early printed matter: the power of that body of material
to inform us not only about the creative geniuses, the text of whose works is safe, but the other 99%, the real stuff of history.
The developments essential to the explosive growth of German literature after 1750 are found in the celebratory verse and
other genres of the preceding period, which came not fronm literary theory but from the heart. They thus define for us the
context in which the German faced the cosmpolitan influences of.the Enlightenment. They are evidence of the fertility of German
culture in this stressful and difficult period, showing how literature survived on the strength of the culture, the close-knit
and communal character of German life. It is these details and glories of a consequential period of German literary and social
history that poetry of this genre recalls for us, setting the stage for the great poetry of Germany's neoclassical and romantic
periods.

in, and became a major proponent of, Lustspiele in German, reacting to the preference for foreign languages and arts at court.

This long poem for the New Year honouring Gerhardt Wolter Molanus, abbot of Loccum and head of the ecclesiastical court at
Hannover, makes special mention of his great library and collection of rare coins, incorporating the motto which was inscribed
above the entrance to each: Fructus sancti coelibatus. Part of the library went to the Royal Library at Hannover where a catalogue
was issued in 1729; another part went to Gottingen. Molanus, formerly a professor of mathematics and theology before succeeding
his brother-in-law Johann Kotzebue as abbot in 1677, was a close friend of Leibniz and facilitated many debates, notably that
between Leibniz and the Cartesian Arnold Eckhard. Together they worked on bringing about a reunion of Catholics and Protestants
in Loccum. The supportive collaboration between the two men on many issues, both private and public, continued throughout
their lives. ADB 22, 86-9. Written by the reform-minded rector of the Lyceum in Hannover. Roter.: Hann. 1, 65.

Poem praising Ludwig, Elector of the Pfalz, and his younger brother Johann Casimjr on their ostensible reconciliation of 1578.
Ludwig had returned' to Lutheranisin, the main religion of the Pfalz, after his father Friedrich's conversion to Calvinism,
and zealously weeded out Calviriists from many sectors, concentrating particularly on the university at Heidelberg. Johann
Casimir, a strong Calvinist following in his father's footsteps, opposed his brother's measures which, combined with dissension
over Friedrich's will, almost brought the two brothers to war. A compromise in 1578 smoothed over some differences, but tension
remained high. This poem' strikes a conciliatory tone most appropriate to the situation and praises the genealogical heritage
of both Ludwig and Johann Casimir. NDB 15, 414. Presentation inscription by the author along lower margin.

the French troops re-taking Cologne, which resulted in the Kaiser absolving the diet of its duties of obedience to Clemens
and demanding a pledge of loyalty to the Reich before recognizing him as archbishop. Clemens fled to France where he remained
until events, notably the death of Kaiser Josef in 1711, had altered enough for him to return to power. In 1714 Clemens returned
to Hildesheim to assume his position at last. This long welcoming address is followed by two poems.
