Etymology

The winged word " Nuremberg Funnel " goes back to the title of a poetry textbook of the founder of North and Pegnesischen flower Nuremberg poet Georg Philipp Harsdörffer (1607-1658), the Poetic under the title funnel. The Teutsche sealing and rhyme, appeared without Behuf the Latin language, pour in hours VI in 1647 in Nuremberg. Due to the distribution of the work, the term " Nuremberg Funnel " was a common phrase.

" As odd as the title today may seem, it must be warned of the ahistorical misunderstanding, which the history of the intra - and extra-literary reception has made him a figure of speech ( ' Nuremberg Funnel '), with which you accuse someone a certain naivety wants. No, historically connects to this title totally different and nothing pejorative: the dominant idea is in fact to teach and learn the poetry. "

In the preface to the poetics textbook is clear that Harsdörffer by no means a mechanical " funneling " the word is talking about. The "funnel " is a symbol for the careful use of time for Harsdörffer.

Learning the art of poetry without systematic instructions so would Harsdörffer after filling of wine without a funnel, so the waste of time equal.

Not " How, then, to find no land for so bad and naughty to you: With his" poetic funnel " Harsdörffer connects especially the educational ideas that you can also German, so the vernacular, density, and the densities at proper guidance can be learned Solte through diligence and persistent Pflegung and work make it fruitful Koenen: So no one is so impure brain of nit through meditation on previously gained statement (which were, the usury seed is ) should bring together a bound speech or a rhyme poem can learn: iedoch a much more blessed than the other. "

However, you will have mastered without the " poetic spirit " " sealing and rhyme " even after the six lessons only " to Noht and not vollkömmlich ". So is the " sealing and rhyme " but not just " pour ": " Schlüßlich have the six hours is not just taken one day after the other and the memory of be überhäuffet; but etwan in drey or four days with reiffem contemplating the unknown technical terms; after fasset it soon or slow and erlernet. "
