Heinrich Julius, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1564–1613)
Heinrich Julius (hīn’riċh), Duke of Brunswick. A German dramatist and jurist; born Oct. 15, 1564; died at Prague, July 20, 1613. His dramas, mostly written under the pseudonym “Hibaldeha,” are inspired by foreign models, English and Italian. The tragedy of ‘The Adulteress’ is reminiscent of Shakespeare; his comedy ‘The Nobleman’ suggested Bürger’s ‘Emperor and Abbot.’ ‘Vincentius Ladislaus’ is the counterpart of an older Italian play and of Plautus’s ‘Miles Gloriosus.’
