About the author
Hermann Bote
45 booksHermann Bote (also Hermen Bote, c. 1450 – c. 1520) was a Middle Low German author and chronicler.
Hermann Bote was the son of a blacksmith and became the city scribe of his hometown Braunschweig when he was barely 20 years old. A few years later he ascended to being governor. In his young age, he already wrote unusual poetry like "Radbuch" and "Köcher". These works not only struck because of their play with words and images, but because they pilloried social injustices and demanded reforms. His masterpiece would however be "Till Eulenspiegel". After the first print in Strasbourg it was an unknown author assembling the book of folk tales, but newer studies ascribe the book to Hermann Vote.
