Virgil's Aeneis in neun Gesängen - Blumauer, Aloys 1755-1798; Seitz, Franz von 1817-1883 (Leipzig Köhler, 1841)
Aloys Blumauer, also known as Alois Blumauer or Johannes Aloysius Blumauer, (1755-1798) was an Austrian poet.His works, which are chiefly coarse satires on the clergy and on the Jesuits (of which he himself had become a member a year before its dissolution in 1773), enjoyed a wide popularity. He is remembered, however, chiefly for his Abenteuer des frommen Helden Æneas (1784–88; published with introduction and commentary by E. Griesbach, 1872), a coarse travesty on Vergil's Aeneid. Blumauer is also remembered as an acquaintance of Mozart, the lyrics of whose Lied der Freiheit (KV 506, 1786) he penned.
