Opera poetica (1st ed.)

Bohuslav of Lobkowicz and Hassenstein (1462 - 1510), Bohemian scholar and poet of noble birth, has left many works written in brilliant Latin.

His collected poetical work appearing after his prose and epistles as the third and last part of the editorial row at the Bibliotheca Teubneriana was always considered as the best part of Hassenstein's literary heritage.

Beside the satires commenting contemporary politic and social situation various examples of the traditional occasional poetry can be found in the collection.

Also his short love poems as well as variations in the religious themes are without doubt of interest.

Numerous personalities from the world of nobility and scholarship from Central Europe were counted to the addressees of Hassenstein's poems.
