Sammelband with two work by Sinold, here written under the pseudonym of Faramond, first edition of “Gedancken über die Eitelkeit der Welt” and a later edition of “Die Klugheit derer wahren”. Both works express Sinold’s focus on moral and critique of worldly vanities all in the context of his pietistic values. Philipp Balthasar Sinold, also known as von Schütz (1657–1742), was a publicist, writer, and theologian. He used the pseudonyms Ludwig Ernst von Faramond (as here), Amadeus Creutzberg and Irenicus Ehrenkron. Coming from the noble Sinold family, he was educated at the Gymnasium in Weissenfels and studied law at the University of Jena. After serving in the Duke of Tuscany's guard cavalry in Florence, he returned to Germany and lived as a private scholar in Leipzig where he published ""Die europäische Fama"" (1704) and the first ""Zeitungs-Lexikon."" As ""Faramond,"" he wrote satirical works criticizing his contemporaries as here. As ""Amadeus Creutzberg"" he authored devotional writings.
