The 10th volume in Christian Weise's collected works contains two plays from his early years as a school professor in Weißenfeld: the comedy Das dreyfache Glücke (1673) is an allegorically encrypted presentation of the development of the city of Leipzig. The Complimentir-Comoedie is from the textbook Politischer Redner (1677) and is a prime example of Weise's practical didactics, instructing readers on how to speak and behave in an adroit manner.
