Liber amicorum of Joannes Carolus Erlenwein, Title page with bust of Homer, p. 7, Hans Carl Erlenwein and his classmates in seminary school, all teenage sons of German aristocrats, composed this Liber Amicorum, or friendship book, for his Latin alter ego 'Joannes Carolus Erlenwein.' The books creation was itself a game: friends one-upped each other through impressive family crests, heartfelt Latin inscriptions, and charming images. Through images, Joannes became the hero of his own story as he and his friends jousted, played tennis, hunted, and rescued damsels in distress. Their choice to convey their strong emotional bond through these images is extraordinary. Yet as boys on the cusp of manhood, they juxtaposed light-hearted joys of youth with images of war and quests for honor, which resonate with prints of the Trojan War interleaved throughout.
