1. Ship of Fools (satire)Ship of Fools is a book of satire published in 1494 in Basel, Switzerland, by Sebastian Brant, a conservative German theologian. In a prologue, 112 brief satires, and an epilogue, all illustrated with woodcuts, the book is notable for including the first commissioned work by the great Renaissance artist-engraver Albrecht Dürer. Much of the work was critical of the current state of the Church. Brant here lashes with unsparing vigour the weaknesses and vices of his time.
