The correspondence of Georg Michael Lingelsheim (1557/8-1636) and
the circle he corresponded with are analyzed here with reference to
the current research discussion on late humanism. Around 1600
Lingelsheim was one of the central figures in the European
scholarly republic and as a senior executive official in Heidelberg
was prominently involved in the denominational conflicts of the
age. On the basis of his correspondence, his role in Palatine
politics and above all his status in the late humanist res publica
litteraria are studied as an instance of a late humanist career in
an age of confessional dispute. At the same time we gain an
impression of the discussions taking place among scholars of the
day and of the late humanist scholarly republic. The study also
includes a catalogue of all the letters to and from Lingelsheim
that have come down to us and an edition of two hitherto unknown
occasional poems.
