Aloys Blumauer, also known asAlois Blumauer orJohannes Aloysius Blumauer, (21 or 22 December 1755Steyr - 16 March 1798Vienna) was anAustrianpoet.
His works, which are chiefly coarse satires on the clergy and on theJesuits (of which he himself had become a member a year before its dissolution in 1773), enjoyed a wide popularity. He is remembered, however, chiefly for hisAbenteuer des frommen Helden Æneas (1784–88; published with introduction and commentary by E. Griesbach, 1872), a coarsetravesty onVirgil'sAeneid. His complete works (Sämmtliche Werke) appeared after his death in four volumes (1801–03; republished 1884). Blumauer was also an acquaintance ofWolfgang Amadeus Mozart, collaborating on the song "Lied der Freiheit" (KV. 506) with him in 1786.
