Friedrich von Logau (1605-1655) divided his poems of meaning into three books of ten centuriae each; at the same time, they are presented in the chronological order of their composition. This observation by Gustav Eitner can be largely confirmed by the external tradition (individual prints, manuscripts). The poet, as his own estate administrator, thus structures the “set of human endeavors” according to the abundance of the years he has passed through, the annual cycle and the days he has left behind, as a work in which the reader can find himself again because it contains his own experiences. because it reflects his own lived time.
