Quirinus Kuhlmann (February 25, 1651 – October 4, 1689) was a German Baroque poet and mystic. Kuhlmann insisted upon the importance of the events of his life as confirmation of his divine mission.〔Beare Robert L , ' Quirinius Kuhlmann:Where and When' MLN, vol 77, no 4 October 1962〕 Known for his travels throughout Europe, Kuhlmann spent the last years of his life in Russia, where he was executed because he was considered theologically and politically dangerous. ==Early life== Born in Breslau (''Wrocław'') in Silesia to a Lutheran merchant, Quirinus Kuhlmann studied at the Magdalena-Gymnasium with the help of a scholarship, as his father had died when Kuhlmann was young.〔Wilhelm Schmidt-Biggemann, “Salvation Through Philology: The Poetical Messianism of Quirinus Kuhlmann (1651-1689),” in Peter Schäfer, Mark R. Cohen (ed.), ''Toward the Millennium: Messianic Expectations from the Bible to Waco'' (Brill), 259.〕 As a boy, Kuhlmann suffered from a speech impediment and was often mocked for his condition. Some scholars believe that this may have been why he began to frequent Breslau’s libraries from an early age.〔 Kuhlmann's first book 'Unsterbliche Sterblikeit' of 100 epigrammatic Alexandrine Quatrain Epitaphs was published in 1668, before he left for the University of Jena in September 1670〔Beare, Robert L, Quirinus Kuhlman:The Religious Apprenticeship' PMLA vol 68 no 4 September 1953〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quirinus Kuhlmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
