Abstract

ABSTRACT A poem by the Pietist pastor of St Jacob’s Church in Riga, Friedrich Bernhard Blaufuß (1697–1756), rediscovered in the State Historical Archives of Latvia and later in the Herrnhut Moravian Archives, has until now been absent from the history of culture and literature in Latvia. Blaufuß’ works also include several other poems in German and Latvian. Blaufuß authored the first history of the Latvian people written in Latvian and meant for the Latvian reader, Vidzemes stāsti (Livonian Histories). His proximity to Livonian Moravian circles has previously been underestimated. This article presents and contextualizes his poem Liefländisches Denkmal (Livonian Monument) in relation to Blaufuß’ historical prose work and Kristijonas Donelaitis’ poetic monument ‘Metai’ (The Seasons).
