A trend in German literature, mainly from the 15th and 16th centuries. It has its origins in medieval farces and S. Brand's satirical moral poem The Ship of Fools (1494). This work, which ridicules human stupidity from a humanistic point of view, was widely read, and Geiller von Kaysersberg used it as a basis for his sermons, and Erasmus wrote The Praise of Folly (1509). T. Murner also wrote The Calling of Fools (12) and Luther's Great Fool (22). A later masterpiece is Abraham a Sancta Clara's Judas der Ertzschelm (1686). It is said that the existence of court jesters also played a major role in the rise of fool literature.

主として 15~16世紀のドイツ文学の一傾向。中世の笑劇や S.ブラントの風刺的教訓詩『愚者の船』 (1494) に起源をもつ。この作品は人文主義的観点から人間の愚かしさを嘲笑したもので,広く読まれ,ガイラー・フォン・カイゼルスベルクはこれをもとに説教し,エラスムスは『痴愚神礼賛』 (1509) を著わした。また T.ムルナーも『愚者の召集』 (12) や『ルターの大馬鹿者』 (22) を書いた。後期の傑作にはアブラハム・ア・ザンクタ・クララの『駄々っ子ユーダス』 Judas der Ertzschelm (1686) がある。愚者文学の隆盛には,宮廷の道化師の存在も大きな役割を果したとされている。
