    GOETHE, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832) and Christoph Martin WIELAND (1733-1813) (eds.). Taschenbuch auf das Jahr 1804. Tübingen: Cotta, [1803].

    First edition of this ‘almanac of songs’, the only example of literary cooperation by C. M. Wieland and Goethe, a copy preserving the often missing publisher’s advertisements at the end. Wieland was appointed by Duchess Anna Amalia as tutor to prince Karl August and thus projected onto the literary scene from academia. It is argued by some that one of his stories was an inspiration for Goethe’s Elective affinities. Hagen 486.

    12mo (124 x 91mm). With engraved frontispiece and 4 fine engraved plates. Original printed boards (extremities a little worn and soiled).
