The eleventh volume of Rist’s Complete Works includes a wide-ranging series of unusual occasional writings by the author, who was greatly esteemed by his peers. These include a eulogy and a libretto to the Ballet for the Prince’s Wedding (1653), a letter of congratulations for the birth of a Brandenburg prince, and a play for printer’s assistants, as well as a secular song collection and a panegyric poem on Denmark.
