Christian Friedrich Hunold (born 29 September 1680 in Wandersleben near Gotha, died 16 August 1721 in Halle) was a German author who wrote under the pseudonym Menantes.
Biography
Hunold went to school in Arnstadt and continued in 1691 at the Gymnasium Illustre Augusteum in Weißenfels until 1698. From 1698 until winter 1699/1700 he studied at the University of Jena law and languages.
His first novel, Die Verliebte und Galante Welt (Hamburg: Liebernickel, 1700), was an instant success. The publication of his novel Satyrischer Roman (Satyrical Novel) in 1706 caused a scandal.
Hunold moved to Halle and held private seminars. The second part of Satyrischer Roman was published in Stade by Hinrich Brummer in 1710. Hunold continued his own studies and graduated in 1714 in law.
He died 6 August 1721 in Halle of tuberculosis.
A biography of him by Benjamin Wedel was published in 1731 including some of his letters.
Libretti
Hunold wrote the libretto Der blutige und sterbende Jesus (The bleeding and dying Jesus), set by Reinhard Keiser in 1704, an early Protestant Passion oratorio. During his time in Halle he wrote texts for several Bach cantatas for the court in Köthen, such as Der Himmel dacht auf Anhalts Ruhm und Glück, BWV 66a, and Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht, BWV 134a, which Bach composed in 1718.
