Johann Clingerius, S.J., and his Technopaegnion poeticum

Original language description

In Neo-Latin poetry, the literary life of a certain period is often shaped by notable figures whose work becomes an object of imitation, as exemplified by Johann Clingerius (ca. 1557–1610) from Thuringia, a member of the Jesuit Order and professor of poetry and Greek at several Jesuit colleges. His relatively short teaching career in Olomouc from 1597 until 1598 left distinct traces, which were observed earlier (but unrelated to him as a person) and have recently been better explored, thanks to new findings. Extant printed books and manuscripts now make it possible to determine the extent of his influence, which shaped not only Bohemian and Moravian students, but also to a large extent Polish students, as well as probably Hungarian students and which can be traced back to the early period of Clingerius’s teaching career in Graz and Vienna. The prints from the Olomouc period contain abundant examples of poesis artificiosa, for which Clingerius had a special liking. It is also evidenced by the surviving manuscripts of his treatise Technopaegnion poeticum, which in some respects illuminate his poetic and teaching practices. Although the Technopaegnion was never published in print, it made its way into the printed scientific literature through the encyclopaedists Rudolph Goclenius the Elder and Johann Heinrich Alsted. Clingerius can thus rightly be placed among the theorists of the poesis artificiosa, namely chronologically between Julius Caesar Scaliger and J. H. Alsted.
