See also:BRANT, See also:SEBASTIAN (1457-1521) , See also:German humanist and satirist, was See also:born at See also:Strassburg about the See also:year 1457. He studied at See also:Basel, took the degree of See also:doctor of See also:laws in 1489, and for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

He first attracted See also:attention in humanistic circles by his Latin See also:poetry, and edited many ecclesiastical and legal See also:works; but he is now only known by his famous See also:satire, Das Narrenschifff(1494), a See also:work the popularity and See also:influence of which were not limited to See also:Germany. Under the See also:form of an allegory—a See also:ship laden with See also:fools and steered by fools to the fools' See also:paradise of Narragcnia—Brant here lashes with unsparing vigour the weaknesses and vices of his time. Although, like most of the German humanists, essentially conservative in his religious views, Brant's eyes were open to the abuses in the See also:- CHURCH

Brant's Narrenschiff has been edited by F. See also:Zarncke (1854); by K. Goedeke (1872); and by F. Bobertag (Ki.irschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur, vol. xvi., 1889).
