Abstract The Venetian incunabula and post-incunabula traced in the library of the Nuremberg humanist Willibald Pirckheimer express the significant influence of the two cities’ relationship on shaping early modern culture in North-alpine Europe: The books, traded by Franconian merchants as luxury goods and, due to the miniatures added by Albrecht Dürer, examples of the influence of Italian Renaissance art north of the Alpes, also shaped the development of Greek humanism in the north and played an important role in constituting learned networks. The ambivalent and always shifting relation of their status as luxury goods or as objects of intellectual knowledge continued after Pirckheimer’s death as they became part of important English book collections and in the 1920 s precious pieces of the stocks of the famous Munich antiquarians Jacques and Erwin Rosenthal, the latter studying as an art historian the artistic importance of Dürer’s miniatures in Pirckheimer’s Venetian books.

Abstract Marie-Louise von Motesiczky’s painting Gespräch in der Bibliothek (Conversation in the Library) relates back to a specific historical constellation insofar as it highlights the interwoven stories of Elias Canetti, Franz Baermann Steiner, and the painter herself, but also of H. G. Adler during the early years of their British exile. Although the painting does not include and likely does not even explicitly refer to H. G. Adler, he saved Steiner’s library from destruction, which made him an integral part of the intellectual exchange that is depicted here, since the library plays a central role in the portrait. Numerous notes and letters in Steiner’s and Adler’s estates testify to the close net of all four protagonists. The article discusses the crucial role of book collections as a mainstay of the three authors’ self-conception and intellectual self-positioning in the wake of the Holocaust, and the continuing impact of this intellectual network visible throughout the dispersed papers of the authors and the painter.
Marie-Louise von Motesiczky在der Bibliothek(图书馆对话)中的画作Gespräch与一个特定的历史组合有关,因为它突出了Elias Canetti, Franz Baermann Steiner和画家本人的交织故事,以及他们在英国流亡的早期的H. G. Adler。虽然这幅画没有包括,甚至可能没有明确提到h·g·阿德勒,但他拯救了斯坦纳的图书馆,使其免于毁灭,这使他成为这里所描绘的知识交流的一个组成部分,因为图书馆在这幅画中起着核心作用。在斯坦纳和阿德勒的遗产中发现的大量笔记和信件证明了四位主人公之间的紧密联系。本文讨论了藏书在大屠杀之后作为三位作者自我概念和知识分子自我定位的支柱的关键作用,以及在作者和画家分散的论文中可见的这种知识网络的持续影响。

Abstract Based on the expansive correspondence of the eminent philologist Eduard Berend (1883–1973), this essay reconstructs the multifaceted history of his exquisite Jean-Paul-collection, which, in 1957, became a cornerstone of the newly established Deutsches Literaturarchiv (DLA) in Marbach. Upon the invitation of the DLA, Berend, a refugee from Nazi Germany who had spent 17 years in exile in Geneva, was able to continue his work on the historical-critical edition of the works of Jean Paul (born Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763–1825), one of Germany’s most prolific writers of the Classical-Romantic period. The Prussian Academy of Sciences had commissioned the critical edition in the Weimar era, and Berend had begun work on it in 1927. But, as a result of Nazi racial policy, he had been removed as the editor in 1938. The return of Berend and his Jean-Paul-Archiv mark the beginning of the DLA’s history as an exceptional research center not just for exile literature but also of and for exiled scholars.

Abstract Marks that readers leave in books are instructive documents with regard to what readers did with them, how they came in contact with them, and how those books have come down to us. These traces reflect past readers’ attempts to relate to their act of reading while also establishing references to the texts themselves. In retrospect, historians can understand books as mobile vitae, that is, as products created not by an author alone, but also by a network of references that the physical volumes acquired along their transmission history. References of this kind can also help us understand why and how certain books we are interested in today have become objects of our interest.

Abstract (Book) collections are a vital source for both literary studies and provenance research – in spite of the fact that they often exist only in an incomplete and fragmented state. This article examines the transmission of collections from the perspective of source criticism as practiced in archeology. A systematic approach, taking various processes of transformation and reduction into account, already becomes effective before a collection is transferred to a memory institution.

Abstract : In his autobiographical accounts, Johann Wolfgang Goethe emphasizes the vital role that his father’s collections of books and art had for his own Bildung. In fact, the library of Johann Caspar Goethe (1710–1782) played a vital role in Goethe’s education and early studies while also attesting to his family background and status. However, soon after Johann Caspar’s death, his library was dissolved – and whereas Johann Wolfgang Goethe and other family members integrated some of the books into their own collections, the majority of objects were sold and dispersed. Today, a handwritten catalog commissioned by Goethe’s mother, Catharina Elisabeth Goethe, just before the sale (in 1793/1794), is a critical tool for reconstructing the collection. This article describes the history of Johann Caspar Goethe’s library, its dispersal as well as the efforts to reconstruct the collection. As the retrieval of the original copies from Johann Caspar’s library and the re-establishment of the original collection were impossible, the Freies Deutsches Hochstift has managed to collect equivalent titles and editions in order to restore a library that allows visitors to the Goethe-Haus in Frankfurt to learn about Goethe’s family background, the cultural setting of his upbringing, and early influences on his education.
摘要:约翰·沃尔夫冈·歌德在他的自传中强调了他父亲的书籍和艺术收藏对他自己的作品所起的重要作用。事实上,约翰·卡斯帕·歌德(1710–1782)的图书馆在歌德的教育和早期研究中发挥了至关重要的作用,同时也证明了他的家庭背景和地位。然而,在Johann Caspar去世后不久,他的图书馆就解散了——尽管Johann Wolfgang Goethe和其他家庭成员将一些书籍整合到了自己的收藏中,但大多数物品都被出售和分散了。如今,歌德的母亲Catharina Elisabeth Goethe在拍卖前(1793/1794年)委托制作的一份手写目录是重建藏品的关键工具。本文介绍了约翰·卡斯帕·歌德图书馆的历史、其分布以及重建馆藏的努力。由于无法从Johann Caspar的图书馆中检索到原始副本并重建原始收藏,德国美术馆设法收集了同等的标题和版本,以修复一个图书馆,使法兰克福歌德故居的游客能够了解歌德的家庭背景、他成长的文化背景、,以及早期对他的教育的影响。

Abstract The article illuminates Heike Geißler’s book Saisonarbeit’s relation to the tradition of the reportage genre since the 19th century, and shows why this genre is of current relevance, especially in view of the latest restructuring of work. Although talk of the widespread digitalization of labor implies a fundamental transformation of its conditions, the mail-order business represented in Saisonarbeit tends to evoke reminiscences of past phases of capitalist production. It is precisely here that the reportage has a special function as a report of vivid experiences.

Abstract The article discusses the various German Shakespeare editions produced by the Deutsche Shakespeare-Gesellschaft (German Shakespeare Society) between its foundation in April 1864 and the end of the 19th century. The society’s eclectic editorial output ranged from a critical edition in 12 volumes (1867–1871), through multi-volume editions for the theatre and for German families (1870–1878), to a cheap one-volume edition (1891). All these editions were based on the Shakespeare translations of August Wilhelm Schlegel and Ludwig Tieck and his circle (Dorothea Tieck and Wolf Heinrich Friedrich Karl Graf von Baudissin), published by the Reimer Publishing House in Leipzig. The editors corrected, revised, expurgated, or even replaced these versions with their own new translations in order to meet the various needs and requirements of their consumers.
