He is remembered most for his satires and his letters which detail conversations with both the great names of the day as well as regular folk both women and men. His ability to manipulate the reader of his letters - which were carefully chosen and probably always meant for publication - by constructing a compelling narrative with himself as central protagonist - changed epistolary collections forever.

Clasen had a Lutheran but nebulous view of the oracles - he desired to retain the religiosity of the oracles in order to retain the force of spirituality in general without acting as if they were true. He maintained that after Christ the oracles gradually disappeared. Size: Quarto 4to. Previous owner's book-plate inside front cover. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
