Brief Summary:
Letter from Karl Ludwig von Knebel to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, written from Jena and dated 4 April 1813.
Detailed Summary:
Knebel reflects on troubled times and concludes that he thinks he will be spared from the wild hoards for a while. He notes that he usually only reads serious history now, before turning to the politics of Jena and Bavaria. Knebel then turns to an engraved imprint of some strange manuscripts which appeared in the MBI (No. 44) as a supplement to the display of E. Hocquart titled, ‘L’art de juger du caractère des hommes sur les écriture’. Amongst these strange writings were manuscripts by Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Elizabeth I of England. A copy of the work mentioned, along with reproductions of the “strange” manuscripts may be found here: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k58163641
