The friend (1754–1756)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The friend was a moral weekly that appeared in Ansbach bei Posch between 1754 and 1756 .

editor

The weekly was the result of a meeting of an Ansbach Circle of Friends, which included Johann Peter Uz , Johann Friedrich von Cronegk , Johann Zacharias Leonhard Junkheim , Georg Ludwig Hirsch and Johann Georg Rabe . They met in the library of Hofkammerrat Hirsch and, among other things, produced joint translations of Horace which, like the publication of the weekly, contributed to the formation of a group identity. The impulses emanating from the group were of great importance for the development of intellectual life and also as a counterpoint to the courtly society of the royal city of Ansbach.
