ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Johannes Von Saaz

Johannes von Saaz: autor medieval de língua alemã, nascido provavelmente na vila de Schuttwa nos sudetas, entre 1342 e 1350, bem no meio de uma epidemia de peste que varreu a Europa, no início do reinado de Carlos IV. Entre 1358 e 1368 frequenta a escola do mosteiro de Tepl. Parte depois para fazer estudos universitários em Praga, Bolonha e Pádua, eventualmente em Paris. Trabalha na chancelaria de Praga e obtém o cargo de notário municipal e de reitor da Escola da vila de Saaz, daí o seu nome. Na altura da morte da esposa Margaretha escreve O Lavrador da Boémia, que o tornará célebre. Não existe traço algum de outros escritos literários. Saaz é considerado precursor de grandes humanistas, tais como Erasmo, Thomas More e Rabelais.
