Georg Ludwig von Bar
Georg Ludwig von Bar (born January 6, 1701 in Hanover , † August 6, 1767 in Barenaue Castle near Osnabrück ) was a German canon , writer and translator.
The son of the Hanoverian privy councilor Heinrich Sigismund von Bar studied law in Utrecht , Heidelberg and Lunéville and was appointed canon of the Minden cathedral chapter in 1721 . Due to a dispute with the Prussian government over the rights of the cathedral chapter, he lived in Osnabrück from 1729 to 1744 , whose bishop Clemens August appointed him councilor of the Electorate of Cologne and hereditary defender of the Osnabrück monastery .
In 1744 von Bar settled in Hamburg and devoted himself entirely to writing, inspired by friendly relationships with Barthold Heinrich Brockes , Friedrich von Hagedorn and Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock . Before that, he had already become known nationwide through his "Epîtres diverses sur des sujets diverses", which he wrote in French around 1740 and which Christian Gottlieb Lieberkühn translated into German.
Johann Christoph Gottsched , the translator of Pierre Bayle's works, mentioned von Bar in his notes:
- The witty author of "Epîtres diverse" has all Regnier , Boileaux , Rousseaux of the French and their satyrs exceeded and one of the most important materials Juvenalisches pointed fire because those have more detained with minor or omitted against individuals their slander .
