AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
First edition of the 1812 literary anthology Teutonia, published by Friedrich August Leo in Leipzig and edited by M. Fredau and G. Salberg.
The work gathers selected thoughts, poems, and prose excerpts from prominent German authors. It is expressly aimed at educated young readers and conveys the literary, philosophical, and moral ideas of its time.
The editors pursued the goal of making a selection from the works of bedeutender deutscher Autoren accessible to German youth and to encourage independent thinking, 검prüfing and judging.
The collection is thematically organized and covers, among other areas:
God, Providence and Religion
World and Human Knowledge
The Fate of Man
Freedom, Reason and Truth
Virtue and Vice
Love, Marriage and Friendship
Education and Formation
Nature, Art and Beauty
Happiness and Misfortune
Death and Immortality
The selected texts include works by Herder, Schiller, Wieland, Krummacher, Benzel-Sternau and other German writers.
The book features an engraved frontispiece with an allegorical female figure bearing a lyre. Below the image is the designation “Teutonia.”
Particularly noteworthy is the extensive author index at the end of the volume. It contains the names of the represented writers as well as biographical information and cross-references to the corresponding passages.
The preface is dated “Dessau, August 1812.”
About the edition: The offered copy is the first edition from 1812. A second, fully revised, increased and improved edition appeared in 1816. This later edition is traceable in antiquarian book trade.
The book is in a clearly age- and wear-conditioned, yet overall collectible state.
The contemporary half-leather binding shows more rubbing and wear. In particular, on the spine larger portions of the original surface have been worn away. The gold-embossed decorations and the spine title are partly still recognizable. The binding edges and corners also show noticeable signs of use.
The text block shows consistently varying degrees of foxing and age-related discoloration. The engraved frontispiece and the title page are preserved.
There are older handwritten notes on the front paste-down.
The shown text pages are well legible. The volume extends to the last numbered page 407 with the completion of the author index.
A complete bibliographical collation of all leaves has not been undertaken.
The photographs show the actual condition of the offered copy and are part of the description.
