Question:

Why did the protagonist receive Campanella's manuscripts through his friends who were warm admirers of the famous monk and political prisoner, and why did he translate some of his sonnets into "Geistliche Kurtzweil"?

Answer (optional):

The protagonist received Campanella's manuscripts through his friends who were warm admirers of the famous monk and political prisoner. He translated some of Campanella's sonnets into "Geistliche Kurtzweil". So, the Descriptio was not only inspired by Campanella but also has undeniable similarities with the Sonnenstaat. However, Gußmann convincingly argues that the Descriptio has significant independent features, particularly in regards to its pedagogical explanations and vision of a new societal order based on the principles of the Gospel.
