Biographical Note The von Pückler-Limburg lineage emerged from the Silesian line of Pückler, which is traced back to Gröditz, Saxony. In 1655, Georg Pückler von Gröditz was appointed as a Bohemian baron by Emperor Ferdinand III. The Saxon and Franconian lines of von Pückler merged in 1676 when Georg's eldest son, Karl Franz Freiherr Pückler von Groditz, married Anna Cordula Freiin von Kresser. Karl served as the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bavaria on the Privy Council and as the provisional governor of Neustadt an der Aisch. Upon his marriage, Karl was raised to master of Burgfarrnbach, Brunn, and Tanzenhaidt, and was raised to the rank of Imperial Count in 1690. After Karl's death, Count Christian of Ansbach acquired an enfeoffment for the lower and upper seats to the estate of Domprobstei Bamberg in 1709 and 1712, respectively. Count Christian Wilhelm Karl married Caroline Christiane Gräfin von Löwenstein-Wertheim in 1737 and subsequently inherited a share of Limpurg, a Swabian-Franconian imperial county. Their descendants formed the first condominium system while presiding as ruling counts. This line of imperial counts was subordinate to the emperor, but maintained seats and votes in the Reichstag and memberships to the Reichsgrafenkollegium [Imperial Count's Council]. Duties included the judging of local civil disputes and minor criminal cases, as well as providing protection and security for their subjects and serfs.[1] [1]Biographical material translated and adapted from Schloss Burgfarrnbach, a German language source. Scope Note This collection consists of documents relating to a German noble family and the operations of their estates. Members of the Pückler-Limburg lineage served as Imperial Counts in the Silesian and Franconian regions of the Holy Roman Empire. Recurring document types include Rechnungs- and Zettel, accounting papers and administrative notes, respectively.

The Dutch revolted against the Spanish domination during the 1560s, leading to a protracted war of independence that led to a truce only in 1609.

    erudition and the republic of letters 2 (2017) 396-430 brill.com/erl August Tittel (1691–1756): The (Mis)fortunes of an Eighteenth-Century Translator Asaph Ben-Tov Forschungszentrum Gotha der Universität Erfurt [email protected] Abstract August Tittel, a Lutheran pastor, translator, ‘minor author’, and fugitive, was best known to contemporaries for his German translation of Humphrey Prideaux’s The Old and New Testament Connected and for his turbulent life. Together with his print- ed oeuvre, Tittel’s extant correspondence, especially with his patron Ernst Salomon Cyprian, allow us a close scrutiny of the life and work of a minor and troublesome member of the Republic of Letters. Despite its peculiarities, there is much in his car eer which is indicative of broader trends in early eighteenth-century scholarship, e.g. networks of patronage and a German interest in Jansenist and English biblical scholar- ship, theology, and confessional polemics. This view of the Republic of Letters ‘from below’ sheds light on a class of minor scholars, which often evades the radar of modern scholarship, but was an essential part of the early modern Republic of Letters. Keywords August Tittel – Ernst Salomon Cyprian – Humphrey Prideaux – translation – Saxony – precariat Someone must have been telling lies about August Tittel. In fact there were two of them, and they may not have been telling lies. Following charges * I wish to thank the anonymous reader for Erudition and the Republic of Letters for corrections and instructive comments. Needless to

It is based on intensive statistical study of common soldiers in Electoral Saxony during the Thirty Years War, through which I both analyze the demographics of soldiers’ backgrounds and discuss military wages in depth. Drawing on microhistory and anthropology, I also follow the career of a single regiment, headed by Wolfgang von Mansfeld (1575-1638), from mustering-in in 1625 to dissolution in 1627. This regiment was made up largely of people from Saxony but it fought in Italy on behalf of the King of Spain, demonstrating the global, transnational nature of early-modern warfare. My findings upend several assumptions about early seventeenth-century soldiers and war. Contrary to the Military Revolution thesis, soldiers do not appear to have become more disciplined during this period, nor was drill particularly important to their daily lives.

  • Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine
    Castles and Palaces on the Romantic Rhine Legendary! On the romantic Rhine, there is a castle landscape which is unique in its density and variety. Between Bingen and Rüdesheim in the south and the Siebengebirge (Seven Hills) in the north, mediaeval knights’ castles, pretty Baroque palaces and impressive fortifi cations unite to make up a unique cultural landscape. The va- riety of the buildings from various epochs is impressive: in this respect, some castles served to levy customs and were therefore important income sources for those in power. Other buildings on the other hand were constructed as safeguards against neighbouring archbishoprics or electorates and yet others fulfi lled purely representative functions. How the scores of castles and palaces on the romantic Rhine appear today could also hardly be more varied. Some of them have remained preserved over the centuries through elaborate restoration and accommodate restaurants, hotels or museums. Others radiate the mystic charm of (almost) crumbled ruins and one can only divine how many wars and revolts they have seen come and go. The count- less palaces, castles and ruins can be ideally experienced on foot, by bike or by ship on the Rhine and in the secondary valleys of the Rhine valley. The historical showpieces and weathered monuments are often linked by hiking paths. And it’s all the same whether they’re in ruined or restored condition: adventurous legends, often based on true facts, are entwined around many of the historical walls... it’s simply legendary! www.romantischer-rhein.de Mäuseturm (Mouse Tower), Bingen Klopp Castle, Bingen The Mouse Tower in Binger Loch is located on an inacces- Klopp Castle, founded in the middle of the 13th century by sible island and is, next to Pfalzgrafenstein Castle, the only the Archbishop of Mainz, Siegfried III, in Bingen, secured the defence tower and watch tower in the middle of the Rhine.

  • Munich, 29Th September, 1777 We Are Well, Praise God, and Still Here
    0339. MARIA ANNA MOZART TO HER HUSBAND, SALZBURG; POSTSCRIPTS BY MOZART AND HIS MOTHER Munich, 29th September, 1777 We are well, praise God, and still here. Today Wolfgang was at the bishop’s1 in Chiemsee, but tomorrow he will pay his compliments to the Elector,2 [5] it couldn't be done earlier. Herr Woschicka3 dined at our table yesterday evening and at midday today, and was very courteous. How things will go with us we must wait and see, we have indeed many good friends here who would like to see us remaining here; MOZART’S POSTSCRIPT: that is true! Very many good friends, but most of whom, unfortunately, can do nothing or [10] little. Yesterday, at half past 10, I was at Count Seau’s4 and found him, however, much more earnest and not as natural as the first time, yet that was only how it seemed. For today I was at Prince Zeil’s,5 and he said to me, in all politeness, the following: "I believe we shall not achieve much here. At the banquet in Nümphenburg6 I spoke privately with the [15] Elector. He said to me, It is still too early at the moment. He should go, travel to Italy, make himself famous. I am not refusing him anything, but it is still too early at the moment." There we have it. Most of the great men have such an appalling Mediterranean paroxysm. Yet he advised me to go to the Elector and present my business in the usual way. I spoke privately today with Herr Wotschicka [20] as we dined, and he told me to come tomorrow at 9 o'clock, when, he maintains, he is sure of arranging an audience.
