Kunst- und Buchhandlung, 1788. First edition. K. W. Ramler (1725-1798) was controversial during his lifetime. For this critical work he earned great praise.

This copy comes from the collection of Maximilian Napoléon de Beauharnais (Munich 1817 St. Petersburg 1852), 3rd Duke of Leuchtenberg. His maternal grandfather was Maximilian I, King of Bavaria. Maximilian de Beauharnais was married to Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaeva Romanova of Russia, oldest daughter of Tzar Alexander II. - VD 18 11572043; Goedeke IV/1, 50; Thieme/Becker XXVIII, 455.
