Anmerckungen – Die Selbstkommentare Daniel Caspers von Lohenstein zu seinen Trauerspielen

This study deals with the phenomenon of Early Modern encyclopedic annotation apparatuses on Baroque tragedy and inquires into their function. The objects of study are the historical dramas Cleopatra (1661/1680), Agrippina (1665), Epicharis (1665), and Sophonisbe (1680) by Daniel Casper von Lohenstein. This volume is the first to appreciate the "Annotations" as an integral component of von Lohenstein’s dramas.
