SACHS, HANS (1494-1576) , German poet and dramatist, was born at Nuremberg on the 5th of November 1494. His father was a tailor, and he himself was trained to the calling of a shoemaker. Before this, however, he received a good education at the Latin school of Nuremberg, which left behind it alasting interest
spring of 1509 he began his apprenticeship, and was at the same time initiated into the art of the Meistersingers by a weaver, Leonhard Nunnenpeck. In 151 he set out on his Wanderjahre, and workedat his craft in many towns, including Regensburg, Passau, Salzburg, Munich, Osnabruck, Lubeck and Leipzig

Hans Sachs was an extraordinarily fertile poet. By the year. 1567 he had composed, according to his own account, 4275 Meisterlieder, 1700 tales and fables in verse, and 208 dramas, which filled no fewer than 34 large manuscript volumes; and this was. not all, for he continued writing until 1573. The Meisterlieder were not printed, being intended solely for the use of the Nuremberg Meistersinger school, of which Sachs was the' leading spirit. His fame rests mainly on the Spruchgedichte, which include his dramatic writings. His ` tragedies"' and`comedies " are,,however, little more than stories told in dialogue, and divided at convenient pauses into a varying number of acts; of the essentials of dramatic construction or the nature of dramatic action Sachs has little idea. The subjects are drawn
Hans Sachs himself made a, beginning to an edition of his collected, writings by publishing three large folio volumes (1558-1561); after his death two other volumes appeared (1578, 1579). A critical edition has been published by the Stuttgart Literarischer Verein, edited-by A. von Keller and E. Goetze (23 vols., 187o-1896) ; Sdmtliche Fastnachtsspiele, ed. by E. Goetze (7 vols., 188o-1887) ; Semtlicke Fabeln and Schwi nke, by the same (3 vols., 1893). There are, also editions of selected writings by J.,Tittmann (3 vols., 187o-1871; new ed., 1883-1885) and B. Arnold
