Bluntschli, Johann Caspar, 1808-1881. Johann Caspar Bluntschli papers 1750-1884.

Title: Johann Caspar Bluntschli papers 1750-1884.

The student notes represent his methodic training in law and legal history under B. Niebuhr, F. Savigny and others. Bluntschli's own later lectures, legal briefs and research notes are an excellent source for studying the development of his interpretation of Swiss and German legal questions. The handwritten draft of Staats-und Rechtsgeschichte invites comparison with the published work. The compilation of Swiss laws provide information that would otherwise be available only in a foreign repository.

Boeckh, August, 1785-1867. Lecture notes : manuscript, 1839-1841.

Title: Lecture notes : manuscript, 1839-1841.

Bound, handwritten notes taken by an unidentified student at the University of Berlin (today Humboldt-Universität), ca. 1839 to 1841, at 6 courses, 2 given by August Boeckh (in one volume, Box 1) and 4 by Leopold von Ranke (in two volumes, Box 2). Boeckh's courses were on Greek antiquities (Griechische Alterthumer), given in summer 1839, and on classical philology (Encyklopädie der Philologie). The latter is undated; the latest date cited is 1839 (p. 147). The course on Greek antiquities has an introduction; a general section on the Greeks; and a specialized section in 3 parts, on public life or the state, on private life, and on culture and the arts. A table of contents is included (p. 153). The course on philology has an introduction; a section on theoretical method, including hermeneutics and the theory of criticism; and a section on content, including aspects of classical societies and of scholarly knowledge about the classical world. A table of contents (p. 261) is mostly incomplete. Volume 1 of the notes from Ranke contains courses on the history of the Middle Ages (Geschichte des Mittelalters; Mittlere Geschichte), winter semester 1840-1841, and on German history, summer 1840. Volume 2 contains courses on modern history (Neuere Geschichte) and on contemporary history (Neueste Geschichte). Both are undated; the latest date cited in the former is 1835 (p. 2, 37) and in the latter, 1839 (p. 139, 298). (Ranke taught at the University of Berlin from 1825 until 1871.) Both volumes have a table of contents (vol. 1, pp. 320-324; vol. 2, pp. 292-294). The course on the Middle Ages covers the 4th to the 15th centuries, with an introduction and 4 chapters, focusing on an opposition between Occident and Orient. The course on German history has an introduction and 14 sections that proceed chronologically, from around the 2nd century BCE to 1815, with an emphasis on phases in the development of national autonomy. The course on modern history focuses on Europe from the end of the 15th century until around 1740, with an introduction and 4 chapters. The notes end abruptly with the rubric Die Entstehung Preussens (p. 118). The course on contemporary history has an introduction and 2 main parts. The first looks at Europe from the end of the Seven Years' War up to the French Revolution; the second covers the French Revolution through the end of the Napoleonic Wars. All 3 volumes of notes are written with heavy use of abbreviated forms.

Boeckh, August, 1785-1867. Geschichte der griechischen Literatur : lecture notes, 1830-1831.

Title: Geschichte der griechischen Literatur : lecture notes, 1830-1831.

Bound volume of notes taken by Ernst von Leutsch at lectures of August Boeckh at the University of Berlin, in the summer semester 1830 and the winter semester 1830/1831, on topics in the study of Greek literature. The volume includes notes from four courses: 1. the history of Greek literature, summer semester 1830 (p. 1-159, plus 38 unpaginated leaves); 2. Greek meter, winter semester 1830/1831 (p. 1-38); 3. Sophocles's Antigone and Oedipus at Colonus, summer 1830 (p. 1-48, plus 10 unpaginated leaves); and 4. Pindar's victory odes, winter semester 1830/1831 (p. 1-30). The lectures on Sophocles and Pindar include annotated glossaries at the back. The lectures on Pindar begin with a general introduction on Greek lyric poetry and Pindar's work before focusing on the first seven Olympian odes. At the time that Leutsch heard these lectures he had just completed his degree in classics at the Universität Göttingen. He came to Berlin specifically in order to further his studies under Boeckh. In 1831 Leutsch returned to Göttingen to teach, beginning a distinguished academic career there as a professor of classics.
