Person: Christian Ludwig von Hagedorn (1712 Hamburg - 1780 Dresden) Was a German art theorist and collector, writer and translator, as well as an amateur engraver and diplomat in the Saxon service. He was primarily known as a poet and editor and was one of the leading representatives of the so-called "Hamburg Enlightenment", a literary movement committed to rationalism and the Enlightenment. His best-known work is probably the "Moralische Wochenstuben" (1729-1730), a collection of moral reflections and poems.
