Conrad Celtes (or Celtis), also Konrad Celtis and Latin Conradus Celtis (1 February 1459 – 4 February 1508), was a German Renaissance humanist scholar and Neo-Latin poet.
Famous quotes containing the word conrad:
“His moving impulse is no flabby yearning to teach, to expound, to make simple; it is that “obscure inner necessity” of which Conrad tells us, the irresistible creative passion of a genuine artist, standing spell-bound before the impenetrable enigma that is life, enamoured by the strange beauty that plays over its sordidness, challenged to a wondering and half-terrified sort of representation of what passes understanding.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
