Johannes Bisselius: Deliciae Veris - Frühlingsfreuden - Lateinischer Text, Übersetzung, Einführungen und Kommentar

In 1638, the Jesuit, poet, preacher, and historian Johannes Bisselius (1601–1682) published the first volume of his seasonal poem Deliciae Veris, “Pleasures of Spring”. The subtly composed, stylistically unique cycle is presented here for the first time in a modern edition with a German translation and insightful commentary, including an introduction to each poem.
