Tschirnhaus 1727, [ULB Halle, Pon IIg 902, S. 279-288]

This description of the Kunstkammer and library, based on a visit on February 27, 1713, was composed by Wolff Bernhard von Tschirnhaus under the title Model eines Academie- und Reise-Journals (Model of an Academy and Travel Journal) and published in 1727 as an appendix to the travel writings of his relative Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus. It contains a list of sights worth seeing at the end of the era of Friedrich I. As such, it established a canon that served as a model for visitors’ accounts into the middle part of the century (cf. Anonymus A, Anonymus B, Silbermann 1741). Current status: print; online edition in the Deutsches Textarchiv; detailed object information (pp. 279–88).
