Abstract

In the last third of the 17th century, âvirtuosâ was traditionally used in German as an adjective meaning âtugendhaftâ (virtuous); from the end of the century onwards, the term was used, as a noun, to describe a person with extraordinary talents or gifts, including in the artistic field. Even if this semantic rearrangement was not yet complete at the time of the publication of Simplicissimus Teutsch, an analogous figure of thought can be identified, which already emerged in the early and mid-seventeenth century in the context of Menippean satire. It makes it possible to interpret the crisis-ridden events of the Thirty Yearsâ War, above all the inflation of the years 1620â1623, with a certain light-handedness. This development will be demonstrated by analysing a leaflet by Daniel Mannasser, one of the best-known leaflet printers of the Thirty Yearsâ War, and from the perspective of Grimmelshausen, who takes up the structure of the leaflet in the frontispiece of Simplicisimus Teutsch and thus creates a textual-visual mise en abyme of the subsequent novel.
