IDEM AD EFFIGIEM CLAUSII HELVETII, QUI ALIQUOT ANNIS SINE CORPORALI VICTU VIXIT
Beschreibung
The poems C. 47-49 are closely connected. This poem accompanies a sacred image of Saint Nicholaus of Flüe (1417-1487), who fasted for many years. This man was a Swiss hermit and ascetic and is the patron saint of Switzerland. He is sometimes worshipped as Brother Klaus. In 1467, after receiving a mystical vision, he left his wife and his ten children with her consent and set himself up as a hermit in the Ranft gorge in Switzerland, where he continued to receive visions. He became a spiritual guide whose advice was widely sought and followed across Europe. Along with St. George, St. Leopold of Austria, and the blessed Simon of Trento, Brother Klaus was one of the most revered saints by the Habsburgs. Brother Klaus's counsel to the Diet of Stans (1481) helped to prevent war between the Swiss cantons. In 1947, Pius XII declared him a saint.
