history
The Anglia was founded by Richard Paul Wülker - up to volume 7 (1884) he wrote to Wülcker - and published together with critical advertisements and a book show , which was organized by Moritz Trautmann . According to the title page, issue 1 of the first volume appeared as early as 1877 at the Lippert'schen bookstore of the Max Niemeyer publishing house in Halle an der Saale , but the official publication date is bibliographically given as volume 1 (1878) and appeared up to volume 12 (1889 ) at Max Niemeyer, Halle / Saale.
From vol. 13 the new series of Anglia begins with NF vol. 1 = 13 (1891), founded by Rich. P. Wülker and edited by Ewald Flügel and Gustav Schirmer , from NF Vol. 3 = 15 (1893) only with the assistance of E. Flügel and edited by Eugen Einenkel . He looked after the Anglia until his death (1930), and from 1928 he was supported by his co-editor Herrmann M. Flasdieck , who published the magazine - over 30 (sometimes difficult) years - up to NF 62 = 76 (1958). When Max Niemeyer Verlag moved to Tübingen in the 1950s, he was supported by two co-editors, Helmut Papajewski and Walter F. Schirmer , who, after Flasdieck's death in 1959, added Bogislav von Lindhelm as a further co-editor. In the same year, the counting of the New Series of Anglia was discontinued and continued with Volume 77 by these three editors until 1965.
During the following 30 years - from Volume 84 (1966) to Volume 113 (1995) - Helmut Gneuss , Hans Käsmann , Erwin Wolff and Theodor Wolpers formed the Anglia's editorial quartet , which did not hand over its responsibility to its successors until 1996 accompanied the subsequent transfer of Max Niemeyer Verlag, Tübingen, 2005 to KG Saur Verlag and 2006 to Verlag Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co. KG, Berlin.
