1991réf. 21246AB1991. Tübingen Niemeyer 1991. 8°. VI 683 Seiten. Softcover / Kartoniert. Sehr guter Zustand mit nur ganz geringen äußerlichen Gebrauchsspuren kleiner Lichtrand. KEIN Besitzvermerk. KEINE Anstreichungen. KEIN Mängelexemplar. Frühe Neuzeit ; Bd. 5 Vita A. G. Kaestneri / Der Gelehrte / Der Biedermann / Kästners literarische Werke / Oden / Parodien / Elegien / Prosa / Rezeptionsgeschichte / Kästners naturwissenschaftlicher Ansatz etc. etc. Abraham Gotthelf Kästner 27. September 1719 in Leipzig; 20. Juni 1800 in Göttingen war ein deutscher Mathematiker und Epigrammdichter. Er war der Sohn des Juraprofessors Abraham Kästner. 1756 heiratete er nach 12-jähriger Verlobung Johanna Rosina Baumann. Am 4. März 1758 starb seine Ehefrau an einer Lungenkrankheit. Später heiratete Kästner die Witwe eines französischen Offiziers. Ob aus dieser Verbindung eine Tochter entstammt ist fraglich. Kästner studierte ab 1731 in Leipzig Jura Philosophie Physik Mathematik und Metaphysik. 1733 wurde er zum Notar ernannt. 1739 folgte die Habilitation an der Universität Leipzig Kästner hielt mathematische philosophische und juristische Vorlesungen. 1746 wurde er außerordentlicher Professor an der Universität Leipzig. 1756 folgte er einem Ruf als ordentlicher Professor der Naturlehre und Geometrie nach Göttingen. Ab 1763 war er zugleich Leiter der dortigen Sternwarte. Kästner war Lehrer und später Kollege von Lichtenberg und Erxleben. Weitere Schüler waren Johann Pfaff der Doktorvater von Carl Friedrich Gauß Johann Tobias Mayer der Sohn seines Freundes und vormaligen Leiters der Göttinger Sternwarte Tobias Mayer und Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes. Kästner war ein entschiedener Gegner von Tierversuchen damals: Vivisektion und bekämpfte diese Praxis aufs Schärfste. Er starb 1800 als Hofrat in Göttingen und wurde auf dem Bartholomäusfriedhof beigesetzt. 1750 wurde er als auswärtiges Mitglied in die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften aufgenommen. Er war ab 1751 auswärtiges und ab 1755 ordentliches Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften. Seit 1786 war er Ehrenmitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg. Der Mondkrater Kästner ist nach ihm benannt. Von seinen zahlreichen Schriften über Mathematik sind seine Anfangsgründe der Mathematik Göttingen 17581769 4 Bände; 6. Aufl. 1800 hervorzuheben. Seine Geschichte der Mathematik Göttingen 17961800 4 Bände ist im Einzelnen ein scharfsinniges Werk doch fehlt ihr der umfassende Überblick über alle Teilgebiete der Mathematik. Am bekanntesten wurde Kästner durch seine Sinngedichte die zuerst ohne seine Einwilligung 1781 in Gießen erschienen und ihm durch ihren beißenden Witz und ihre scharfe Ironie auf verschiedene Persönlichkeiten viel Kritik einbrachten. Sie wurden später in seine Vermischten Schriften 1 und 2 Altenburg 1783 2 Bände aufgenommen und erschienen auch in seinen Gesammelten poetischen und prosaischen schönwissenschaftlichen Werken Berlin 1841 4 Bände sowie später in Joseph Kürschners Deutscher Nationalliteratur Band 73 hrsg. von Minor; Stuttgart 1883. Kaum bekannt ist seine Lobschrift auf Gottfried Wilhelm Freyherrn von Leibniz Altenburg 1769. Wikipedia paperback
1709réf. KAHFNW706ETUNürnberg 1709. 8vo. Johann Leonhard Buggel Contemporary but not uniform vellum sewn on 3 cords with a hollow back vol. I with dark blue edges with a manuscript title in Latin at the head of the spine: Tractatus de insectis aliisque animalibus nocivis extirpandis; vol. II with a manuscript title in German at the head of the spine: Von schadliechen Ungedierter Außrottung II. Each volume with a folding illustrated engraved title-page and a folding letterpress title-page a larger folding engraved plate in volume II woodcut tailpieces and decorated initials headpieces built up from typographic ornaments.

First edition rarely found complete of a detailed account of animals that are harmful to people and to their livestock the treatment of bites illnesses and poisonings they cause and instructions for their extermination. It covers animals on land in water in the air and underground. The large folding plate in vol. II shows 38 insects including 14 caterpillars and the two engraved title-pages for volumes I and II show well over 50 vol. I about 25 vol. II animals not counting a large group of ants and many birds in the distance in the former. The book also provides information about uses of the dead harmful animals for making clothes and medicines and includes many medicinal recipes. The animals discussed include wolves foxes mad dogs birds including birds of prey snakes frogs toads rats mice moles beetles caterpillars bed bugs lice fleas and other insects spiders snails and other molluscs various kinds of worms and even a dragon and basilisk the latter illustrated in the engraved title-page to volume I: it looks more cock-like than snake-like so most people would now call it a cockatrice but the two have long been used almost interchangeably. Krafft notes that dragons are rarely or never found in Germany but says one was found in Bohemia a few years ago and that they are more common in Nubia Libya and the largest ones in "Indien" probably meaning the East Indies and perhaps based on reports of the Komodo dragon.With an owner's inscription of Stefan von Clodt 1674-1737 Vicar General and Provost of Michaelsberg in Fulda on the title-page of vol. I. Somewhat browned vol. I only slightly and with an occasional small stain but still in good condition. The binding of vol. I is in very good condition with only a few small worm holes in the hinges; vol. II is rubbed and damaged lacking the lowest 3 cm of the backstrip. A very detailed source of information on animals regarded as pests from both a medical and a farming and gardening perspective.l Lindner Jagdliteratur 11.1171.01 & 11.1173.01; VD18 11041935 = 90643208 & 90643224; cf.

It was the first insurance company in Florida and one of the largest black-owned businesses in Florida. "As the oldest life insurance company in Florida and one of the most successful black businesses in the state it helped thousands of blacks over the years. The importance of that insurance company… cannot be underestimated. According to the 'Encyclopedia of Southern Culture' the insurance companies established by African-Americans and catering to them 'formed the heart of black financial networks the cultural beginnings of which can be traced to mutual benefit societies and the church'" McCarthy African-American Sites in Florida' p. 52; c.f. Low Encyclopedia of Black America p. 207. Lewis helped found the National Negro Insurance Association and the exclusive African-American vacation spot American Beach on Amelia Island and was Florida's first black millionaire. "By 1902 the Afro-American Life Insurance Company was the cornerstone of Black economic development in the city… and grew into one of the most successful minority owned insurance companies in the country. He was a close friend of Booker T. Washington and helped Washington establish the Negro Business League…" Bartley Keeping the Faith p. 10. The company closed in 1990.
