Briefwechsel und Lebenszeugnisse
Martin Opitz (1597‑1639) gilt als Neubegründer der deutschen Literatur im 17. Jahrhundert. Dennoch verfasste er seine Korrespondenz noch weitgehend in lateinischer Sprache. Sein europaweiter Briefwechsel, ergänzt um Eintragungen und Widmungen sowie zeitgenössische Berichte und Zeugnisse über den Dichter, wird nun zum ersten Mal gesammelt ediert, übersetzt und detailliert erläutert.
