Talander (pseud.); [Bohse, August]
Der Liebe Irregarten : In welchem Hoher Personen unterschiedene Liebes-Geschichte sam[m]t andern merckwürdigen Begebenheiten auff das anmuthigste vorgetragen werden. Leipzig: Johann Caspar Mernern, 1684. 8vo, contemporary parchment-backed boards, boards detached but present, title and A2 with horizontal tear with loss of upper halves of pages.
Bound with
second Talander work, likely Liebes-Cabinet der Damen (Leipzig, 1685, identified on internal textual evidence), lacking title (A1) and 623 to end (likely only 623-4), with pp.313-336 supplied in early MSS.
Bohse was an early proponent of the gallant novel, seemingly harkening back to court histories, but with courtly plots replaced with romantic entanglements, and often reaching towards eroticism.
