Der Aachener Kongreß und das Scheitern der indischen Reisepläne Alexander von Humboldts

Abstract

Article in German, Abstracts in English and Spanish.This article argues that a "Memoir about the Spanish Colonies in South America" allegedly written by Alexander von Humboldt in 1818 for the Holy Alliance’s Conference at Aix-la-Chapelle in reality never existed and therefore could not serve as an impediment to Humboldt’s effort to visit India.
