Note 283 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Cf. Berghoeffer, Opitz' Buch von der Poeterei, 1888, and Beckherrn, Opitz, Ronsard, und Heinsius, 1888. The first reference to Aristotle's Poetics, north of the Alps, is to be found in Luther's Address to the Christian Nobles of the German Nation, 1520. Schosser's Disputationes de Tragœdia, published in 1559, two years before Scaliger's work appeared, is entirely based on Aristotle's Poetics.
