Ritrovati due esemplari della prima edizione della Nova dilucidatio di Kant (1755) che si riteneva perduta

Abstract

While preparing the new critical edition of Kant’s Latin dissertations, two copies were found of the first edition of the Nova dilucidatio (1755), which had been considered as entirely lost since 1944. One copy is preserved at the Latvijas Universitātes Akadēmiskā Bibliotēka Riga in Riga, the other one at the Kongelige Bibliotek in Copenhagen. The Copenhagen copy is interleaved with handwritten notes by Johann Reinhold Grube, one of the opponents in the public discussion of Kant’s dissertation which took place on 27 September 1755.
