Poem praising Ludwig, Elector of the Pfalz, and his younger brother Johann Casimjr on their ostensible reconciliation of 1578. Ludwig had returned' to Lutheranisin, the main religion of the Pfalz, after his father Friedrich's conversion to Calvinism, and zealously weeded out Calviriists from many sectors, concentrating particularly on the university at Heidelberg. Johann Casimir, a strong Calvinist following in his father's footsteps, opposed his brother's measures which, combined with dissension over Friedrich's will, almost brought the two brothers to war. A compromise in 1578 smoothed over some differences, but tension remained high. This poem' strikes a conciliatory tone most appropriate to the situation and praises the genealogical heritage of both Ludwig and Johann Casimir. NDB 15, 414.
