The anonymously published Singspiel Des Trojanischen Paridis Urtheil which the editors of Anton Ulrich’s works have included in the second volume offers not one single indication of its authorship or date of publication. Nevertheless a quote from Jacobs Heyrath, another Singspiel presumably written by Anton Ulrich, thematic parallels with Regier-Kunst-Schatten, and especially a comparison with Andromeda, a play which with certainty can be ascribed to Anton Ulrich, can help to verify Anton Ulrich’s authorship for Des Trojanischen Paridis Urtheil. A further indication of Anton Ulrich’s authorship is the unfamiliar concentration on the aftermath of the judgement not with regard to Paris and his further fate (which is totally omitted), but to Venus’ new position in the hierarchy of Olympus.
