Skobelev, Mikhail Dmitrievich, 1843-1882. Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev Papers, ca. 1799-1916.

Title: Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev Papers, ca. 1799-1916.

The papers consist of Skobelev's correspondence, manuscripts, documents, subject files, and printed materials. There are awards and documents of Skobelev, his father (Dmitriĭ Ivanovich), and his grandfather (Ivan Nikitch), both of whom were also generals; these documents include ones signed by Tsars Alexander I, Nicholas I, Paul, and Alexander II, and by two Kings of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm IV and Wilhelm I. The correspondence primarily dates from 1870-90 and consists mainly of letters received by Mikhail Skobelev and copies of letters which he wrote. The manuscripts include essays on military affairs, some of which are by Skobelev. There are subject files concerning the Akhal-Tekinskiĭ expedition (1880-81) and the Russo-Turkish War. Among the printed materials are clippings and maps.

Rozenshṭain, Elḥanan, 1796-1869. Prayers for individuals and for special occasions/ Elhanan Rosenstein.

Title: Prayers for individuals and for special occasions/ Elhanan Rosenstein. [between 1820 and 1869]

Several special prayers, some for specific individuals and some for specific needs. There is one prayer in Hebrew thanking God for saving King William I, of Prussia, from an assassination attempt in 1878, followed by a similar prayer in Yiddish. There is a prayer in Hebrew for the welfare of King Frederick William IV and some general prayers for the welfare of the king, his wife, and his government. There is a prayer upon the death of Rabbi Raphael Michel Zaks (R. Michael Sachs, Rabbi of Berlin, 1844-1864. The name Raphael was presumably added during an illness.). There is also a prayer written upon the death of Elhanan Rosenstein's daughter, Leah Gela. There are prayers for success in raising children. The case appears to be mislabeled because there are only prayers in the manuscript and no sermons.

Hagen, Ernst August, 1797-1880. Ernst August Hagen Papers, ca. 1824-1878.

Title: Ernst August Hagen Papers, ca. 1824-1878.

Comprises 9 items, including a travel journal and a prose narrative in Hagen's own hand; partial transcriptions made by others of two plays; Hagen's annotated copy of page proofs for the book Max von Schenkendorf's Gedichte, which he edited; and three printed items. The journal (Box 1, Folder 1), dated 1 May to 26 September 1830, records Hagen's travels through more than 50 cities and towns in Germany, Belgium, France, and Switzerland; it is illustrated with numerous architectural sketches and diagrams in pencil and ink. The prose narrative (undated; Box 2) is in two parts (Der Mönch; Der Bischof) and has emendations. The plays (Box 1, Folders 2-3), although lacking title pages, evidently correspond to two works, Periander and Der Zauberer, identified by the scholar Bruno Henrard as being among Hagen's papers. The first play, in blank verse, is based on the historical Periander of the 7th century BCE. Other characters include the queen (Königin), Lycophron, Thrasybul, Procles, Damocles, Lysander, Perses, and Euryta. The manuscript is in two different hands, and breaks off early in act III. The second play, in prose, is set in the Piedmont region of Italy. The characters include Baccio, Carl, the master (Meister), a Jew (Jude), Anna, a duchess (Herzogin), and an abbot (Abt). The sorcerer (Zauberer) is mentioned (p. 29); the manuscript breaks off in act I, scene 2. The page proofs, in a bound volume (Box 3), are of the 3rd edition of the book (1862), with references to the 5th edition (1878), and include copious notes by Hagen, some on additional leaves bound in at back. (For a detailed description of that item, do the title search: Ernst August Hagen annotated page proofs). Of the printed items (Box 1, Folders 4-5), two are offprints of poems (neither gives the author's name), with the headings: 2 Juli 1824 and Zum 29sten August 1824; the latter is initialed by Hagen: A.H. (f. 1r). The first poem celebrates the centenary of the birth of the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock. The second is a Prussian patriotic poem focused on Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (later Friedrich Wilhelm IV). The third printed item, Die Kunstausstellung in Königsberg, Flüchtige Aufzeichnungen von A. Hagen, dated 15 February 1857, reviews paintings exhibited by Gustav Richter, August Leu, and Count Leopold von Kalkreuth, with a mention of Friedrich Thurau. Also included is a handwritten copy of a 13-stanza poem or song (Der Franzos' von der grossen Armee aus Moskau kommend; Box 1, Folder 6) set in the Napoleonic era, by an unidentified author; according to a pencil note in a different hand it was copied by Karl Gottfried Hagen.
