* HEINRICH VON MOKUNGEN. 726 HEINSIUS. century, ranking in beauty and originality next to Waltlior von der Vogelweide. His poems, showing sliglitly the inlluence of classic models and very strongly that of the troubadours of Provence, are edited by Von der Hagen in his Minnesinger (1838), and in Lachmann and Haupt's Ues Hinncsangs Fr-ulUing (4th ed. 1888). Consult: Michel, Heinrich von- Morungen und die Troubadours (Strassburg, 1880), and Riissner, TJntersuchungen zu Heinrich von Morungen (Ber- lin, 1898). HEINKICH VON MUGELN, f6n mu'geln (C.1310-C.1375). A German author and scholar, a counselor of Charles IV. at Prague, and later of Kudolph IV. of Austria. His works include trans- lations of Valerius Maximus (first printed 14S9), and of the commentary on the Psalms written by Xikolaus of Lyra ; an Hungarian chronicle in Latin (edited by Engel, in Monumenta Ungrica, 1809) ; an allegory, Der meide crunz; and fables and minne poetry (edited by Miiller, 1848), which won liini a place among the twelve founders of the art of the minnesingers. HEINRICH VON NEUSTADT, fon noi'- stat. A German poet, born at Wiener-Neustadt, who practiced medicine in Vienna in the first quarter of tlie fourteenth century. His works, imitative of Wolfram von Eschenbaeh, include a long romance, patterned after the Latin story of Apollonius of Tyre, but with a curious coloring from Arthurian story; and, on the second ad- vent. Von Oottes Zukunft, reminiscent of Alanus ab Insulis's Anticlaudianus. Excerpts from the two poems are published in Strohl, Heinrich von Neustadt (Vienna, 1875). HEINKICI, hin-re'tse, Kabl Fbiedrich Georg ( 1844 — ) . A German Protestant theologian, bom at Karkeln, in East Prussia, and educated at Halle and at Berlin, where in 1871 he became docent. In 1873 he became professor at Marburg, and went to Leipzig in 1892. He wrote: Die Vaientinianische Gnosis und die Heilige Schrift (1781); Erkliirung der Korintherbriefe ( ISSO- 87) ; the commentary on Corinthians in Meyer's jVejc Testament Commentary (last ed. 1896 and 1900) ; Schriftforschung und Schriftautoritiit (1890) ; TheologisChe Encyklopddie (1893) ; and Beitriige zur Geschichte vnd Erkliirung des Seuen Testaments, vol. i. (1894). HEINSE, hin'se, Joiiann Jakob Wilhelm ( 1749-1803) . A German novelist, translator, and critic of art, born at Langewiesen in Thuringia. He studied at Schleusingen, at Jena, and at Erfurt, where he met Wieland, who greatly in- fluenced his poetrj-, and Gleim, who procured for him a place as private tutor at Halberstadt, w-here he lived imder the name of Eost. In 1774 he went to Diisseldorf as editor of Iris. Here he became so interested in art that he spent three years in Italy, giving most of the time to Rome. He made the acquaintance of the painter Mullef, learned much of Italian art and literature, and widened his knowledge of the art and literature of antiquity. While he w-as in Italy he translat- ed Tasso's Gerusalemme Liberata and the Orlando into German prose. On his return to Diisseldorf (1784) he wrote Ardinghello, his masterpiece. The Elector of Mainz. Friedrich Karl Joseph, now (1786) made him his lektor, and (1787). at Aschaffenburg. his private secretary. On Fried- rich's death his library became the property of the State, and Heinse was made librarian. His earliest work was Sinngedichte (1771). This w-as followed by translations and works in classic vein: Begebenheiten des Enkolp, aus dem iSatyrikon des Petron iibersetzt (1773); Die Kirschen (1773), a work of equal obscenity; and Laidon, oder die elcusinischen Geheimtiisse (1774), with the form of a romance, describing the apotheosis of Lais. Like the last-mentioned work, Ardinghello, Oder die gliickscligen Inselii (last ed. 1838), is little more than a series of dazzling pictures, like Pompeian wall paintings. In Hildcgard -con Hohenthal (last ed. 1838), Heinse gives his ideas on music, and in Anastasia und das Schachspiel (last ed. 1831) on chess. Fiormona, oder Briefe aus Italien ( 1803 ), though visually ascribed to Heinse, is not his work. Consult: Briefe zwischen Glcim, Heinse und Johannes von Miiller, edited by Kiirte (Zurich, 1800-08), w-hich gives a good picture of the man, and contains his criticism of the paintings in the Diisseldorf Gallery, and Schober, Heinse, scin Leben und seine Werke (Leipzig, 1882). HEINSIUS, hin'sl-oos, Antoxics (1641- 1720). A Dutch statesman, celebrated as a for- midable opponent of Louis XIV. of France. He was born at Delft, November 22, 1641. and after pursuing the study of law at the University of Lej'den entered the sen'ice of the State, and be- came in 167 9 pensionary of Delft. He was the confidential friend of William of Orange, upon whose accession to the throne of England, in 1689, Heinsius, as Pensionary of Holland, suc- ceeded to the virtual control of the foreign policy of the Dutch Republic. The friendship between William and Heinsius continued till the former's death, and their correspondence is of capital im- portance for the light it throws on the intricate political problems of the period from 1688 to the outbreak of the War of the Spanish Succession. Heinsius was instrumental in bringing about the partition treaties of 1698 and 1700 concerning the devolution of the Spanish throne, and con- tributed to the formation of the Grand Alliance in 1701. Into that struggle against France he entered heart and soul, and after William III.'s death, in 1702, became the virtual leader of the European combination against Louis XIV. The victories of Marlborough and Prince Eugene were due in no little measure to Heinsius's restless activity in the prosecution of the war. Deter- mined upon the total humiliation of France, he spurned the French King's overtures of peace, made as early as 1706, and only the defection of England and the recrudescence of French resist- ance that followed induced him to agree to the terms of peace at Utrecht. He died August 3, 1720. HEINSIUS, Daxiel (1580-1655). A Dutch scholar of distinction, and a pupil of Sealiger, born in Ghent. He was a leading figure of the Dutch Renaissance, professor of Greek and Latin at Levden. and a facile Latin poet. He wrote rnmhi (1602) : ElegicB (1603) : Emblemata Ama- toria. with Dutch verses (1601); Poemata (1605). He edited Theocritus. Bion, Moschus, Horace, Aristotle. Seneca. Terence, and Livy. and published Latin Orationes (1609 and 1621) and other learned works as well as a Dutch tragedy.
