Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DENIS, JOHANN NEPOMUK COSMAS MICHAEL (1729-1800) , Austrian poet, was born at Scharding on the Inn, on the 27th of September 1729. He was brought up by the
Jesuits
 , entered their order, and in 1759 was appointed professor in the Theresianum in Vienna, a Jesuit college. In 1784, after the suppression of the college, he was made second custodian of the
court
  library, and seven years later became
chief
  librarian. He died on the 29th of September 1800. A warm admirer of
Klopstock
 , he was one of the leading members of the group of so-called " bards "; and his
original
  poetry, published under the
title
  Die Lieder Sineds des Barden (1772), shows all the extravagances of the " bardic "
movement
 . He is best remembered as the translator of Ossian (1768-1769; also published together with his own poems in 5 vols. as Ossians and Sineds Lieder, 1784). More important than either his
original
  poetry or his translations were his efforts to familiarize the Austrians with the literature of North Germany; his Sammlung kiirzerer Gedichte aus den neuern Dichtern Deutschlands, 3 vols. (1762-1766), was in this respect invaluable. He has also left a number of
bibliographical
  compilations, Grundriss der Bibliographic and Bitcherkunde (1774), Grundriss der Literaturgeschichte (1776), Einleitung in die Bucherkunde (1777) and Wiens Buchdruckergeschichte bis 156o (1782).
Ossians and Sineds Lieder have not been reprinted since 1791; but a selection of his poetry edited by R. Hamel will be found in vol. 48 (1884) of Kiirschner's Deutsche Nationalliteratur. His Literarischer Nachlass was published by J. F. von Retzer in 1802 (2 vols.). See P. von Hofmann-Wellenhof,
Michael
  Denis (1881).
