Nachtigal, Johann Karl Christoph: Psalmen, gesungen vor Davids Thronbesteigung oder in Beziehung auf seine frühere Lebensperiode (Psalms, Sung Before David's Accession to the Throne or in Relation to His Earlier Life Period)/ Translated and revised, with historical introductions and notes by J. C. C. Nachtigal. - Halle: Gebauer, 1797

Johann Karl Christoph Nachtigal (1753 - 1819) owed his school education to the Halberstadt Stephaneum, in particular its outstanding Rector Struensee. He studied in Halle and was appointed teacher at the Stephaneum in 1773 through Struensee's mediation. He was a contributor to various journals (including Gemeinnützige Blätter, Deutsche Monatsschrift) and also made a name for himself with his translations, such as this one of the Psalms.

Restoration measures: partial dry cleaning, tears and missing parts in the book block; restoration of the cover paper (filling in missing parts and closing tears)

Lambertus, Franciscus:
Francisci Lamberti Avenionensis Theologi Commentarij de causis excæcationis multorū sæculorum, ac ucritate, denuo [et] novißime Dei misericordia
revelata ... - [s.l.], [s.a.]. - 96 [i.e. 97] pp.

A large number of the books from the Reformation period, which are now in the Marktkirchenbibliothek in Goslar, come from Halberstadt. The owner at the time, the vicar and scholar Andreas Gronewalt, a confidant of Cardinal Albrecht von Brandenburg, was in favour of Reformation ideas despite his Catholic denomination. He built up a library to this end, but under the (Catholic) pressure of the events in Halberstadt, he had it moved to a friend in Goslar around 1535. Only a few copies, including the book to be restored here, remained in Halberstadt.

Information:
Johann Heinrich Schulz (1739-1823) was a German theological enlightener and philosopher. Schulz was a preacher in Gielsdorf near Berlin and became known as the Zopfschulz because he always wore a plait instead of the usual wig. In 1783, he set out his Enlightenment ideas on religious philosophy in his work Versuch einer Anleitung zur Sittenlehre für alle Menschen ohne Unterschied der Religion (Attempt at a guide to moral teaching for all people without distinction of religion ), which Kant wrote a review of in the same year. With regard to punishment, Schulz was already of the opinion that "avenging punishments", in particular the death penalty, were unjust and that instead reparation and correction should be the aim of all penal laws. When, in 1788, Schulz reaffirmed his Enlightenment view of religion even further in his essayErweis des himmelweiten Unterschieds der Moral von der Religion: nebst genauer Bestimmung der Begriffe von Theologie, Religion, Kirche und (protestantischer) Hierarchie, und des Verhältnisses dieser Dinge zur Moral und zum Staate / von einem unerschrocknen Wahrheitsfreunde, he was suspended from office in 1791.

Johann August Hermes (1736 - 1822) was a German Protestant theologian and clergyman of the Enlightenment period. He was also active as a writer and published the Wöchentliche Beiträge zur Beförderung der Gottseligkeit (Weekly Contributions to the Promotion of Godliness). However, his progressive writings made him vulnerable and in 1773 he was investigated by the consistory in Waren, where he worked. He later became senior preacher and consistorial councillor at St Nicholas' Church in Quedlinburg, and finally senior preacher at Quedlinburg Abbey in 1799.
