	Sebastian Brant - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		SEBASTIAN BRANT (1457-1521), German humanist and satirist, was born at Strassburg about the year 1457.
		Although, like most of the German humanists, essentially conservative in his religious views, Brant's eyes were open to the abuses in the church, and the Narrenschiff was a most effective preparation for the Protestant Reformation.
		Brant's other works, of which the chief was a version of Freidank's Bescheidenheit (1508), are of inferior interest and importance.

		Not that Brant took much pains to work out the allegory adopted in the beginning; on the contrary, he was extremely careless in that respect, changing and even dropping it altogether in the course of the work.
		But it was just this somewhat loose arrangement that pleased Brant’s readers; and, as his notion of folly was a very wide one, and comprised all sorts of personal and social vices and weaknesses, the book became an all-round satirical picture of the manners of the age.
		Brant did not only blame people, but he wanted to induce them to mend their ways by demonstrating the absurdity or the evil consequences of their follies.

	Brant, Sebastian Criticism and Essays
		Brant was loyal to the Holy Roman Empire and the Emperor Maximilian, and when Basel joined the Swiss Confederation in 1499, he returned to imperial Strasbourg.
		Brant relied heavily on biblical sources as well as works by the classical writers Ovid, Juvenal, and Horace when he composed his poem, and he has in common with the earlier authors the desire to highlight humans' reasoning nature and to guide them along the path to salvation by pointing out their follies.
		Brant shows that foolishness is akin to ungodliness and illustrates the effects of straying from God and of engaging in irrational behavior.
