Nachahmung und Schöpfung in der Barockgrammatik
Ch. Gueintz liest W. Ratke
This contribution discusses the grammarians of the first half of the 17th century. The grammar by Ch. Gueintz (1641) was the German grammar that was officially recognized by the Fruitbearing Society. Prince Ludwig of Anhalt-Köthen, the head of the Fruitbearing Society, commissioned Gueintz to write this grammar in 1638. The results reported here of a comparison of the grammars show that Gueintz’ most important sources apparently were the Allgemeine Sprachlehr [General Grammar] (1619) by W. Ratke and not his Wortschickungslehr [Word Usage] (c. 1630), which is partially preserved in manuscript form. Gueintz’ sources apparently also included the grammars by J. Clajus (1578) and St. Ritter (1616).
