Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Schiller, Vol. 22 If we would have knowledge of the ancestry of our ideal poet of freedom, we must, for the first, turn to Bittenfeld, a parish of some importance, situate northeast of where the Neckar is joined by the Rems. There, in the latter half of the seventeenth century, lived John Caspar Schiller, by trade a baker, but also holding legal office; he migrated thither, it is thought, from the village of Groszheppach, which lies to the southeast of Bittenfeld, on the vine-clad banks of the Rems. It may be that he was son to Ulrich Schiller, whose father, James George, was born at Groszheppach in 1587. The name Schiller was a widely spread one. In South Germany, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, a master-singer, one Jorg Schiller (Schilher, Schilcher) won himself a name; his so-called "notes" or "tones" were specially admired. The name literally signifies squint-eyed, squinting. Farther on we shall see that the Rems Schillers were probably related to a Tyrolese family of rank. John Caspar Schiller, of Bittenfeld fame, died in 1687, aged thirty-eight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
