1767-1769

The letters in the final volume of this series document Gellert's work at the University of Leipzig, the editing of his collected writings, his contacts with clergy and students, his letters of recommendation to Saxon aristocrats, his ongoing correspondence with Christiane Caroline Lucius, and his friendships with leading late Enlightenment literary figures such as Johann Adolf Schlegel, Christian Garve, and Johann Andreas Cramer. The book also includes recovered, newly discovered, and undated letters, as well as some of Gellert's friends' writings following his death.
