Die Liebesmelancholie
Robert Burton · Bernhard Trebuch
The Third Partition of Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (Oxford 1621) is a whole book about love: its objects and kinds, heroic love or love melancholy – its causes, from idleness and good cheer to beauty, dancing, music, kisses and go-betweens, its symptoms, prognostics and cures – and finally jealousy. Here it is for the first time in German, translated from the first edition by Bernhard Trebuch, with a foreword and notes on the persons, places, books and terms. Reading sample: the foreword and the first two subsections on love melancholy, with the notes.
The complete book is available to members of Fra Bernardos Brevier, to read in the app and as an ePub for your e-reader.
