Abstract
In Martin Opitz’s Buch von der deutschen Poeterey, the sonnet is defined by verse and rhyme scheme (elocutio), not by arguments (inventio) or the arrangement of arguments (dispositio); nevertheless, Sibylla Schwarz’s Petrarchan sonnets are also distinguished by their logico-rhetorical structuring. Transcending logical structuring, their subtle style is characterized by surprising relationships between disparate topoi and perceptive differentiations between aspects of a particular topos. The article analyses Sibylla Schwarz’s contribution to the poetic form of the sonnet, taking the two sonnets, “Die Lieb ist blind” and “Ist Lieb ein Feur”, as examples.
