Wissenschaft und Zeitgeschichte: Die Briefe Ernst von Sterns an Eduard Meyer (1894–1918)

Abstract

18 letters are preserved which Ernst von Stern, professor of ancient history at the universities of Odessa and Halle, wrote to the eminent historian Eduard Meyer between 1894 and 1918. They deal in an interesting way with some problems of ancient history and the copyright of authors. But they are more important as testimonies on a crucial time of Russian history: the first Russian revolution in 1905 and the following years, and again for the situation during the negotiations at Brest-Litowsk in January 1918.
