This volume presents 196 poems, letters, and drafts dating from the final 21 months of Günther's life. During this time, Günther wrote new derisive verses, panegyrics, and wedding verses; spiritual poems for a devotional setting; and his well-known self-justification letter to his father. Despite illness and exhaustion, Günther was able to maintain his poetic sensibility, his role as learned poet, and his clever wit.
