We are delighted to have you explore our site, dedicated to the life and works of the renowned humanist and satirist, Sebastian Brant. Best known for his seminal work, « The Ship of Fools » (1494), Brant’s sharp wit and keen insight into the follies of his time remain as relevant today as they were over five centuries ago.
