Musaeum Gottwaldianum from the Gdańsk University of Technology
Library Collection and Publishing History of Christophers Gottwaldfs Work
in XVII-th Century
Readers did not become acąuainted with the work of Christophorus Gottwaldt
(1636-1700), a physician from Gdańsk, an anatomist, collector of natural objects, as
well as a talented draughtsman and etcher, during the author s life. His sudden death
interrupted the realization of his publishing projects. However, widowed Konstan-
tia Gottwaldt (?-?) took care of publicizing the scientific work of her husband. In
1713-16 (17?), vidua Gottwaldt led up to publishing the album with no text in a very
limited edition, consisting of natural history illustrations prepared by Ch. Gottwaldt
and his co-worker, monogrammist SD/S.D:s, who could be identical with the etcher
Samuel Donnet (active in Gdańsk cir. 1699-1734). The album is known as Museaum
Gottwaldianum and one of the very few copies of this uniąue edition is kept at the
Library of the Gdańsk University of Technology. The manuscripts, copper plates, and
illustrations of Ch. Gottwaldt were passed on to the naturalist Johann Philipp Breyne
(1680-1764), who was to publish the scientific legacy of the anatomist with his own
comments. Breyne did not keep his promises and after his death and sale of the Biblio-
theca Breyniana (auctions over 1765—66), Gottwaldts manuscripts and copper plates
went to the publisher Gabriel Nicolaus Raspe (1712-85) from Nurnberg. In 1781-82,
Raspe published three editions with Ch. Gottwaldfs anatomical treatises, translated
from Latin to German, and the natural history illustrations, printed from the original
17^-century copper plates.
