LII | Friedrich von Logau
An eminent writer of reflective, critical, and epigrammatic verse (1604-1655). He was born in Silesia and spent the most of his life at Brieg, where he was sometime ducal councillor. In 1654 he published Salomon von Golaws deutscher Sinngetichte drei Tausend, the name Golaw being a disguise of Logau. They vary in length from a couplet to a hundred lines or more, and disclose in the aggregate a virile and interesting personality. The text follows Eitner’s edition in Deutsche Dichter des 17. Jahrhunderts.
