Caspar Brülow

He is remembered for his Latin language dramas on Biblical and Classical subjects which were performed by his students.

Like his later colleague Matthias Bernegger, he began his career as a teacher at the Protestant Gymanasium school, starting there in 1612 and spending the rest of his life in Strasbourg.

However, these were at least as much musical interludes as summations and commentary on the action in the manner of Ancient Greek drama.

Like the contemporary English Renaissance theatre, the plays did not obey the classical unities and mixed tragedy with comedy.

[2] In addition to his dramas Brülow wrote textbooks and a Latin epic about Martin Luther entitled "De vita rebusque gestis Martini Lutheran".
