Hafen Slawkenbergius
Hafen Slawkenbergius is a fictional writer referenced in Laurence Sterne's novel ''Tristram Shandy''. Slawkenbergius was "distinguished by the length of his nose, and a great authority on the subject of noses". Sterne gives few biographical details relating to Slawkenbergius, but states that he was German, and that he had died over 90 years prior to the writing and publication (in 1761) of the books of ''Tristram Shandy'' in which he appears — i.e., ''circa'' 1670, although Slawkenbergius' tale includes a reference to the French annexation of Strasbourg in 1681. Slawkenbergius is primarily known for his scholarly writings in Neo-Latin, particularly his lengthy monograph ''De Nasis'' ("On Noses"), purporting to explain different types of noses and their corresponding significance to human character. The second book of ''De Nasis'' is said to be filled with a large number of short stories illustrative of Slawkenbergius' characterizations of noses. Only one of these stories is repr ...
