Der Plan des ersten Lehrstuhls für Schöne Wissenschaften in der Habsburger Monarchie
The Course Plan for the First Chair of Schöne Wissenschaften in the Habsburg Monarchy: Seibt’s Application for a Professorship at Prague, 1763

Summary/Abstract: This article considers Karl Heinrich Seibt’s (1735–1806) plan for a course in aesthetics at Prague University. First, using archive materials, it presents an historical introduction to the establishment of the chair in 1763. Michael Wögerbauer then compares the linguistic ‘modernity’of the manuscript-draft of the syllabus (1763) with the printed version (1764), and Tomáš Hlobil analyses the concept of the schöne Wissenschaften, which Seibt used in the two texts in four different ways.
