The "Geist- und Weltliche Gedichte" were written between 1630 and
1650 at the court of the Piast family, rulers of the duchy of
Brzeg. Brzeg was a major centre of German Baroque literature,
prominent figures like Opitz, Gryphius, Logau and Lohenstein being
associated with it. The collection contains over 400 poems ranging
across a broad sprectrum of genres, forms and subjects. As such it
is an instructive compendium of courtly occasional literature for
purposes of entertainment and representation. The postscript draws
upon a variety of new source data to delineate the biography of
Scherffer and attempts to establish his specific status within the
res publica litteraria. After a concise outline of Scherffer's
works and his place in literary history, there follows a discussion
of the structure, chronology, origins and printing history of the
various texts brought together in the collection. The volume rounds
off with notes on individual passages, a research bibliography and
an index of names.
