This book presents the story of a unique collection of 140 manuscripts of ‘learned magic’ that was sold for a fantastic sum within the clandestine channels of the German book trade in the early eighteenth century. The book will interpret this collection from two angles – as an artefact of the early modern book market as well as the longue-durée tradition of Western learned magic –, thus taking a new stance towards scribal texts that are often regarded as eccentric, peripheral, or marginal. The study is structured by the apparent exceptionality, scarcity, and illegality of the collection, and provides chapters on clandestine activities in European book markets, questions of censorship regimes and efficiency, the use of manuscripts in an age of print, and the history of learned magic in early modern Europe. As the collection has survived till this day in Leipzig University Library, the book provides a critical edition of the 1710 selling catalogue, which includes a brief content analysis of all extant manuscripts. The study will be of interest to scholars and students from a variety of fields, such as early modern book history, the history of magic, cultural history, the sociology of religion, or the study of Western esotericism.

Leipzig als eine der ältesten deutschen Universitäten feiert im Jahre 2009 ihr sechshundertjähriges Gründungsfest. Aus diesem Anlass gibt der Rektor Franz Häuser eine Edition mit den Antrittsreden und Jahresberichten seiner Vorgänger aus der Zeit zwischen 1871 und 1933 heraus. Diese Periode stellte eine wahre Blütezeit der Universität Leipzig dar, wie die glanzvollen Namen ihrer damaligen Professoren eindrucksvoll belegen. Detailreiche Einblicke in das sich ständig wandelnde Innenleben der Leipziger Hochschule bieten die Jahresberichte des abtretenden Rektors. In der jeweiligen Antrittsrede gewährte der neue Rektor dagegen Einsicht in die von ihm vertretene Forschungsrichtung - der hochrangige zeitgenössische Stand akademischer Wissenschaft wird deutlich fassbar. Durch die Zusammenschau beider Redetypen entsteht so ein lebendiges, facettenreiches Bild universitären Lebens und Wirkens. Erschlossen wird dieser historische Fundus durch ein umfangreiches Personen-, Sach- und Ortsregister, welches erstmals einen zielgenauen Einstieg in die Geschichte der einzelnen Fächer, Lehrstühle und der akademischen Korporationen ermöglicht.

The scientific personalities of Luigi Cremona, Eugenio Beltrami, Salvatore Pincherle, Federigo Enriques, Beppo Levi, Giuseppe Vitali, Beniamino Segre and of several other mathematicians who worked in Bologna in the century 1861–1960 are examined by different authors, in some cases providing different view points. Most contributions in the volume are historical; they are reproductions of original documents or studies on an original work and its impact on later research. The achievements of other mathematicians are investigated for their present-day importance.
