Ebook: Briefwechsel: Band 14 November 1748 – September 1749

In 1749, the University of Leipzig lost one of its most prominent promoters, Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel. Johann Christoph Gottsched, the president of the university during 1748/49, solicited contributions for a commemorative volume. In the summer of 1749, Gottsched and his wife travelled to Karlsbad and then to Vienna. After visiting scholars and nobleman, they were granted audience with the emperor, the spectacular highlight of the journey.
