Freimaurer, Illuminaten, Rosenkreuzer, Jesuiten, Alchemisten, Mesmeristen… – die verloren gegangene Bibliothek des letzten illuminatischen Ordensprovinzials

Johann Joachim Christoph Bode starb am 13. Dezember 1793, zwei Stunden vor Mitternacht – wohl an den Folgen der Zahn- und Kieferentzündungen, die ihm seit Jahren mit Anfällen von „Flußfieber und Zahnschmerzen” zu schaffen machten. Damit kam in Gang, was 1787/88 entschieden worden war.

Im Herbst 1787 hatte Bode von Weimar aus wieder einmal Gotha besucht. Seine Arbeit des letzten halben Jahrzehnts lag in Trümmern. Noch im Sommer hatte er sich Paris bemüht, die Illuminaten aus der Schusslinie zu ziehen: „Philaleten“ sollten sie in Zukunft wieder geheim heißen. Seit 1785 war mit „Illuminaten“ kein Geheimnis mehr zu machen. Bayerns Staat hatte alle Geheimorden und insbesondere diesen verboten. Bode hatte dessen ungeachtet als Provinzial „Ioniens“ (Obersachsens) weiterhin Mitglieder aufgenommen.

14.4.2022: Sich beim Forschen über die Schulter sehen lassen? — Isabella Schwaderers Erkundungen zu den Mitgliedern der Schopenhauergesellschaft

Keine Kommentare


Am Donnerstag, den 14. April 2022, 13:30 (CET) spricht in unserer Serie Erfurter Coffee Talks Isabella Schwaderer über Erfahrungen aus ihrem Projekt “Netzwerkverbindungen in der Schopenhauergesellschaft 1912/1913” — ein Projekt, dessen Recherchen sie im FactGrid datebankgestützt durchführte.

Kann man es riskieren, auf einer Plattform, auf der alle Daten unmittelbar offen zugänglich sind, die eigene gerade erst angefangene Forschung laufen zu lassen? Wie funktioniert die Organisation in einer unter Kollegen international organisierten Plattform? Wie ist die Software in der Handhabung? Was ist praktisch? Was ist unpraktisch? Was gewinnt man — erwartet oder unerwartet?

Browsing FactGrid with the FactGrid Viewer

Keine Kommentare
FactGrid is a wonderful, free and collaborative resource that the University of Erfurt in Germany has made available to the international historical community. Many potential users are unfortunately put off by its apparent complexity. It is true that an initiation is necessary to exploit all its possibilities. In the future, new tools should make it much easier to use. In the meantime, it is possible to use a certain number of tools that already exist on the platform.

Here I will introduce the FactGrid Viewer tool. A first use of FactGrid is simply to search and browse the database. This is accessible to everyone, without the need to log in. However, the user interface (which is that of Wikidata) is not very engaging. In fact, it looks more like an input mask than a user interface.

Imagine a Graph Query Helper for Graph Databases

FactGrid is a graph database. If you run searches in such a database you should rather not think of a resource filled with tables (of people, places, organizations, documents…) that relate to each other but of something more spatial more geometric.

Think of your own knowledge. You will not be able to give a table of all the names that have a meaning in your knowledge or of all the places related to these names. Our knowledge is more like a web of interrelated objects. Nicolaus Copernicus? Is the man who wrote De revolutionibus. What else do you know?

Twenty years on tour: The Velten Theatre Company’s journeys from 1693 to 1712

Keine Kommentare

This may come as a postscript to the previous or as a sneak preview of upcoming projects that will deal with theatre and its history. An interesting topic with all the networks of actors knitting their personal ties in ever changing ensembles of travelling companies that visit cities and courts, of emerging houses with standing ensembles, of authors, of plays and of various roles – and then again of actors who would play certain types in various plays…

The following itinerary follows one of these groups, the so called Hochdeutsche Hofcomödianten or the Velten Company, named after the Veltens, a couple who were the directors between 1670s and 1712.

The image catches all the journeys this group took between 1693 and 1712, the years when Catharina Elisabeth Velten was the company’s director. The FactGrid viewer gives the list of the known stays as Günther Hansen noted them in his Formen der Commedia dell’ Arte in Deutschland (1968), p. 269.

The image is interesting as it captures a structural characteristic of the itineraries which theatre companies were likely to produce back in the 17th and 18th centuries.

How to map itineraries on FactGrid — and Robinson Crusoe’s eight voyages

Keine Kommentare

William Taylor’s typesetter was reading Crusoe’s history with full attention. That is why he stumbled over that date which the manuscript gave him for his page 46. 1659, “the same Day eight Year that I went from my Father and Mother at Hull”. Crusoe had left his parents in 1661, so he had stated on 7. Should that have been 1651? Or should it now be 1669? There as apparently no time to waste. He skipped the problem and left two blanks.

First edition of Robinson Crusoe, 1719, omitted dates on p.

PARIS TO DOWNLOAD  comes with a double purpose: it is first designed to provide a dataset for historians to download with one simple click. Click the image below and an SPARQL query will bring the adresses of Paris c. 1830 onto a modern map.

Paris to download download query

Move your cursor to the right margin and you will get the menu that allows you to download the raw data behind this visualisation to your computer. TSV (or CSV) is the practical format here, ready to bridge with copy and paste into any spreadsheet. The download will come with the geographic coordinates and the address names, CC0-licensed and ready to use in any software environment of your choice …

… This might, however, not be the most interesting use you can make of this data set. It might be far more attractive to create your own visualisations here on FactGrid with information you can put on any of the items underneath the visualisation. You will need an account to augment information on this data set and we are eager to open these accounts to all researchers working on historical Paris.

A Quarter of a Million Items on FactGrid – just a brief reflection

Keine Kommentare

Germany’s national author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe called it a “masquerade in red and white”, but was himself a member (just as he became a member of the Illuminati a little bit later; it made sense to join such organisations and to know from within what they were all about). Freemasonry was in its most idealistic terms an updated edition of the brotherhood of men united under a simple and strikingly anti aristocratic system: the system of the old craft guilds. With their three degrees of apprentice, fellow and master there was no room for privilege of birth. German masonry evolved from the late 1730’s through the 1750’s principally as a system of four degrees, with Scots Master at the apex and the development did not stop there. The chivalric degrees of the 1760’s and 1770’s gave way to increasingly complex systems, overgrowing this initial construct. These high-degree systems claimed roots in the middle ages if not deeper pasts, synthesising Christianity with alchemy, magic, and theosophy. Masonic entrepreneurs travelled through Europe selling secrets which they would convey in extraordinary lodges. What they offered would have been considered heresies only a generation before, and now became a market of esotericism – a market that turned the masonic world into its first framework and distributor. The Strict Observance or Order of the Temple, the masonic high-grade-system founded by Carl Gotthelf von Hund und Altengrotkau in Germany in 1751 was the biggest player on this stage in central Europe – the system of red and white, the colours of the Knights Templars.

A special map of 18th-century French colonial life in the Caribbean and elsewhere

Keine Kommentare

With any luck, by the end of this year my book on the Early Sources on the emerging high degree Masonic bodies that became the Scottish Rite will see the press. COVID-19 has been challenging on all aspects of the economy and society, and the publishing industry is no exception. One positive aspect is that one finds themselves with extra time on their hands, allowing for some experimentation. These French sources will comprise a bilingual book (French and English) with all known correspondence from 1744-1767, containing all of the Sharp documents [a collection of Elus Parfaits corresponce covering France, the Antilles and Louisiana], the Etienne Morin letters published in St. Claudius by Choumitzky, along with the correspondence from the former Grand Lodge of France, that came into the possession of the Grand Orient de France. The project is a collaboration between the Grand Collège des Rites écossais and the Scottish Rite Research Society. It has been a massive undertaking and will yield an extremely useful source book for both Historians and Masons alike. I will try to give the data that went into the project here on FactGrid so that the research community can use and expand this base into any direction.

The curious question leading me here is: What did Freemasonry look like in the colonial possessions of France during the 18th century?
