Aus der Gründungszeit der DMG: Acht Briefe (1838–1847) von August Friedrich Pott an Conon von der Gabelentz %X The following 8 letters by the Halle linguist A. F. Pott to his colleague the Altenburg landowner and statesman, also a well-known linguist, Conon von der Gabelentz, cover the years 1838–1847. They touch on scholarly matters of shared interest, like Pott's studies on the gypsy language and Gabelentz' edition of Ulfila's Gothic Bible translation but also provide information on issues of forming an association of German Orientalists, establishing a journal of Oriental studies and supporting journals with a liberal tendency like the Halle yearbooks and the Halle Literary Gazette. Thus they contribute to our knowledge of this formative period of German Oriental Studies and two of their celebrated representatives. %U https://doi.org/10.13173/zeitdeutmorggese.167.2.0453 %0 Journal Article %R 10.13173/zeitdeutmorggese.167.2.0453 %J Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft %V 167 %N 2
