This text inspired many paintings by Durer, H. Bosch, Holbein, Geyler (so in 1510), etc.: "Das Narrenschiff ist ein mittelalterliches Motiv der Kunst und Literatur. Daß Narrenschyff ad Narragoniam des Sebastian Brant (1457?1521) wurde das erfolgreichste deutschsprachige Buch vor der Reformation und in ganz Europa verbreitet. / Ship of Fools is a popular motif in medieval art and literatur.

Sebastian Brants (1457-1521) Hauptwerk Das Narrenschiff (1494ff.) war bis zu Goethes Werther das erfolgreichste Buch in deutscher Sprache. Die Moralsatire führt in 112 Kapiteln ebensoviele Narrentypen und ihre menschlichen Torheiten vor, die Zeitgenossen zur Einsicht und Umkehr zu bewegen. Bemerkenswert ist die enge Verbindung von Text und Bild, die zu ihrer Zeit wesentlich zu Wirkung und Verbreitung des Buches beigetragen hat. Die vierte Auflage der Studienausgabe bietet den Vorteil, daß sie den Forschungsschub im Zusammenhang mit dem 500. Geburtstag des Buchs im Jahre 1994 berücksichtigen kann und damit auch bibliographisch den neuesten Stand darstellt. Brant hat sein Narrenschiff aber nicht nur mit Narren befrachtet, sondern auch mit beträchtlichem Bildungsgut, das 500 Jahre nach Erscheinen des Werkes nicht geringe Verständnisschwierigkeiten bereitet. Um dem heutigen Leser den Zugang zum Text zu erleichtern, bietet die Neuausgabe deshalb erstmals auch "Auskünfte", die Brants zahlreiche Hinweise auf die Bibel, auf Gestalten der antiken Mythologie und Literatur, auf historische wie zeitgenössische Ereignisse und Schauplätze, auf Lehren der Kirchenväter, auf kirchliches wie weltliches Recht u.a. zu erschließen helfen
