98. [Optician / Optiker / Optische Instrumente] – Tauber, Gottfried.

Small Collection of very rare original materials from the library german Mathematician and Inventor of Optical, Medical & Scientific Instruments, Dr. Gottfried Tauber. The collection includes: 1. A stunning, allegorical Painting of Gottfried Tauber by Daniel Caffe (pinxit 1808) which is beautifully framed, with a significant but repairable tear 2. Gottfried Tauber’s personal Manuscript-Notebook [which he obviously kept during his early studies at “Schola Altenburgensis”], titled: “Physic a Tauber – Penticoste’s Tempore – 1784” with Drawings and detailed scientific experiments, 3. An important, printed publication from Tauber’s Institute, titled: “Anweisung Anweisung für auswärtige Personen, wie dieselben aus dem Optisch-Oculistischen Institute zu Leipzig… mit Zuverlässigkeit solche Augengläser bekommen können”. The publication explains not only in detail Tauber’s ability to select the right eye glasses for different stages of loss of sight. The publication, printed in 1851, also advertises the optical and medical inventions of Tauber (Microscopes, Tattoo-Presses, Needles for Inoculation, Camera Lucida, Camera Obscura, Thermomoeters, Meteorological Instruments etc. etc.). Gottfried Tauber was the founder of the Optical – Oculistic Institute in Leipzig / Germany and became famous for the invention of Glasses and several scientific instruments in the fields of Optic and medicinal as well as meteorological instruments . The Manuscript Notebook in the collection includes Gottfried Tauber’s personal elaborations on significant scientific experiments, even mentioning Benjamin Franklin’s Kite-Experiment from 1752 (″Doct. Fränklin in Amerika gab 1752 die erste Nachricht im Dienst von Ableitern…”). Tauber’s many talents led to him being installed as teacher of mathematics already six years after starting his manuscript notebook in 1784. Many of the experiments Tauber noted down in his manuscript and embellished with drawings, would later lead to his own inventions of tools and instruments useful for medicince and science in the ever experimental 19th century.
