M. MITCHELL Volume 3: Additions and Corrections UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LIBRARIES 1976 PRINTED IN LAWRENCE, KANSAS, U.S.A. BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRINTING SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In preparing this supplement, I have been privileged to use the Prediger• bibliothek at Preetz and the Landesarchiv Schleswig-Holstein in Schleswig as well as the Royal Library in Copenhagen and the University Library in Kiel. My foremost obligation is to Dr. Dieter Lohmeier, who located the many items recorded from Preetz and arranged for my visit to the library there. I am also obliged to Professor Kurt Hector for suggestions and to the staff of the Landesarchiv for their courtesy. To John Bruckner, Esq., and to Professor Klaus Garber I am indebted for critical comments. The Royal Library in Stockholm and the Institut für Presseforschung, Bremen, have kindly fur• nished reproductions of certain materials. To the University of Illinois for continued financial support and to the University of Kansas for including this supplement in its Library Series, I express my thanks. Once again, Mr. L. E. James Helyar has edited the manuscript and seen the bibliography through the press. P. M. MITCHELL INTRODUCTION I. Since the publication of the original bibliography in two volumes in 1969, two additional sources of German imprints of Schleswig-Holstein have been investigated. The first, the "Klosterbibliothek" at Preetz, was known to the compiler, but had not previously been accessible. The second, the Schleswig- Holsteinisches Landesarchiv, had—inexplicably—remained unknown to the compiler as a repository of printed material. Through the generous cooperation of Dr. Dieter Lohmeier, who with a group of coworkers at the University of Kiel has undertaken to produce an ex• haustive bibliography of Schleswig-Holstein, information was provided about the holdings of the Preetz library and arrangements made for a visit to the library in the summer of 1974, primarily to verify the discoveries made in the Preetz library by Dr. Lohmeier. In a review of the bibliography in the Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Schleswig-Holsteinische Geschichte, 97 (1972), pp. 244-47, Professor Kurt Hector, then director of the Landesarchiv Schleswig-Holstein, pointed out the existence of many additional published decrees preserved and ordered in the archives. A visit to the archives, also in 1974, enabled the decrees to be recorded. A few additional items have been located elsewhere. Reviews and users of the bibliography have contributed additional information which has resulted in the augmentation or correction of entries in the original bibliography. In tabular form the numbers of separate items now recorded in the three volumes of the bibliography are as follows: Booths, pamphlets, etc. Broadside decrees 1601-1610 29 25 1611-1620 37 41 16214630 62 46 1631-1640 114 85 1641-1650 248 83 16514660 254 74 1661-1670 - 392 82 16714680 501 80 1681-1690 4°8 84 16914700 567 113 The pattern differs from the table on p. x in volume 1 only insofar as many more decrees have been located—15 to 30 more for each decade. Newspapers are recorded by year, without regard to the numbers of an annual volume found. VII Since this supplement records chiefly decrees, a brief analysis of the decrees issued in German in the Duchies during the seventeenth century is in order. One observes that the number of purely royal and ducal decrees is slight through the year 1677, when the number of royal decrees rises sharply (8 between 1661-1670, 60 between 1681-90). Ducal decrees do not increase notably until the 1690's. They reach a peak of 48 in the decade 1691-1700. During the first half of the century joint decrees proliferate to a peak of 85 between 1641 and 1650 and then fall sharply and decline until the 1680's (1681-90, 20; 1691- 1700, 20). The overall pattern reflects political tensions of the time and in particular the struggle btween king and duke toward the end of the century. The diminution of joint decrees is attributable to altercations between king and duke in the 1680's, Christian V of Denmark occupied Gottorf 1684-89. The major concern of the decrees was the levying of taxes—at least until the estates ("Landtag") ceased to function in 1661. While only four decrees pertaining to taxation were located for the first decade of the century, 32 were found from the years 1649-53. Their number fell sharply as ecclesiastical matters become the leading matter of concern for decrees (22 between 1681 and 1690) as did also decrees pertaining to commerce. The only other large category of decrees was one which remained fairly constant during the century, viz. those pertaining to judicial matters: 16 between 1611-20, 15 between 1691- 1700, with a low of 6 between 1651-60 and a high of 21 between 1661-70. Not surprisingly, the tax levies were related to military activity, first in connection with the Thirty Years' War and then with the war between Denmark and Sweden, 1658-60. The decrees tell of the major concerns of government: taxation, the legal process, the Landtag, and the increase in both regal and ducal power—with a concomitant trend toward authoritarianism. The concentration of the spirit of the decrees is upon power and the welfare of those who govern, but not those who are governed. No decrees pertain to education and but a few to public health or the general well-being of the populace, aside from decrees about public works: highways and bridges. To the modern observer, not a few of the decrees are wryly humorous, such as the repeated admonition that the clergy watch its language. The appearance of Die deutschen Zeitungen des 17. Jahrhunderts 141 by Else Bogel and Elger Blühm1 permitted the reassessment of recorded publica• tion of various newspapers issued in Schleswig-Holstein. In the first place, annual volumes of newspapers of which the existence may safely be deduced have now been included in the bibliography. In the second place, known 1 (Studien zur Publizistik, 17). Bremen: Schünemann Universitätsverlag, 1971. viii copies of newspapers which could not be examined by the compiler are re• corded here (with the location given within parentheses). If bibliographical information for such entries has been drawn from Bogel/Blühm, that fact is indicated in each case. II. In his review Professor Hector made a plea for a categorization of the decrees which had not been followed in the first two volumes of the bibliogra• phy: he pointed out that one can distinguish four kinds of decrees for Schles• wig-Holstein: royal decrees, ducal (Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf) decrees, joint decrees (royal-ducal), and decrees issued by the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein- Plön. In addition there were purely Danish (and Norwegian) decrees issued in the German language. In volumes 1 and 2, joint decrees had been so identi• fied in a note attached to each item, whereas the entry was made under the heading "Denmark. Laws, statutes, etc." In the present supplement, joint decrees are identified under the double entry "Denmark. Laws, statutes, etc. and Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf. Laws, statutes, etc." but without a cross- reference from Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf to Denmark for each year. Royal decrees for Schleswig-Holstein and for Denmark are not differentiated by the type of entry, since the nature of the decree or ordinance should permit the user to distinguish the intent of the decree without difficulty. It should be pointed out that this bibliography employs the term "Danish monarchy" in the sense of the "Gesamtstaat," as opposed to the narrower concept, the Kingdom of Den• mark. Partly in accordance with Dr. Hector's suggestion there is given here an analyzed list of decrees from the first two volumes of the bibliography. The following decrees were issued as royal ordinances valid for Schleswig-Holstein but not for the entire monarchy: 20 1681 2095 2312 2645 71 1682 2132 2313 2694 116 1733 2133 2354 2695 117 1794 2134 2355 2696 155 1799 2135 2356 2697 190 1800 2136 2399 2757 191 1862A 2137 2400 2758 636 1862B 2184 2403 2820 772 1863 2186 2404 2821 776 1864 2187 2406 2879 777 1908 2187A 2408 2880 780 1909 2188 2454 2881 833 1910 2220 2506 2886 IX 834 1910A 2221 2508 2887 835 1911 2221A 2509 2960 928 1953 2222 2510 2961 1142 1953A 2223 2512 2962 1222 2001 2224 2549 2964 1262 2003 2260 2550 2966 1337 2054 2261 2551 2970 1390 2059 2262 2552 2971 1480 2089 2263 2553 2973 1527 2091 2264 2602 3056 1565B 2093 2265 2603 3058 1567 2094 2311 2608 3062 THE FOLLOWING ITEMS LISTED IN VOLUMES 1 AND 2 CONSTITUTE JOINT DECREES OF THE KING OF DENMARK, AS DUKE OF SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, AND THE DUKE OF SCHLES- WIG-HOLSTEIN-GOTTORF AND MIGHT BETTER BE ENTERED UNDER THE DOUBLE HEADING: DENMARK.
