Hammer-Purgstall, Joseph von. Eigenhändiger Brief mit Unterschrift, wohl an den Berliner Diplomaten und Orientalisten Heinrich Friedrich von Diez. Wien, Januar 1809 (Tagesdatum offen gelassen). 3 S. auf einem Doppelblatt feinen holländischen Schreibpapiers, auf der vierten Seite hastiges Postskript mit mehrzeiliger Streichung. 22,5 x 18,5 cm.Früher und inhaltsreicher Brief Hammers. Er berichtet ausschließlich vom Projekt der "Fundgruben des Orients", deren erster Band noch 1809 erschien. Analog dem französischen Paralleltitel "Mines de l'Orient" nennt er sie "Minen". "Hier theuerster Freund erhalten Sie den Prospektus des oriental. Journals zu dem ich Ihnen in meinem lezten Brief Hoffnung machte, u. zugleich eine herzliche Aufforderung im Namen des jungen H. Rzewuski (des Grafen Wenceslaus Rzewusky als Finanzier der Zeitschrift) daran Theil zu nehmen ... Das ganze Werk ruht übrigens auf meinen Schultern. - Ich habe nicht nur die Redakzion sondern auch die Correspondenz mit den Mitgliedern im Namen des Grafen ausschließlich auf mich genommen. Chabert und Dombay werden blos das typographische besorgen. Wenn Sie wie ich noch immer hoffe bis Ostern selbst kommen so bringen Sie uns wohl selber eine kleine Gabe fürs erste Heft mit, und da Ihr Weg über Leipzig gehen wird, so bitte ich Sie Härteln in meinem Namen die türkischen Vorschriften abzufordern die ich ihm ... geliehen habe, weil er selbst ein schönes orientl. Alphabet gießen zu wollen versprach. Zugleich bitte ich Sie von Nikolai die beiden Übersetzungen türkisch(er) Gesandtschaftsreisen zu begehren, welche ich auf Ihre Veranlassung für ihn übersetzte, von denen er aber weiter keinen Gebrauch machen zu wollen scheint. Dieselben sind gerade recht für die Minen; die wie ich hoffe wenigstens Ouseley's (Oriental) Collections ersetzen sollen." - Demnach hat der Adressat Übersetzungen Hammers aus dem Türkischen an den Berliner Verleger Friedrich Nicolai vermittelt, die unpubliziert blieben und behoben werden sollten. Dies weist deutlich auf Diez hin, der bei Nicolai veröffentlichte. Zum ersten Band der Fundgruben lieferte Diez zwei Übersetzungen aus dem Türkischen, die von Hammer mit kritisch-polemischen Anmerkungen versehen wurden und von Druckfehlern entstellt waren. Diese Verunglimpfung führte zu einer heftigen Gelehrtenfehde, die auch Goethe aufmerksam verfolgte. Die Nachschrift behandelt die Frage nach dem Format der Zeitschrift, "4to wäre besser (als Folio), allein es wird um so weniger Etwas daran zu ändern seyn, als Titel und Umschlag schon danach gestochen ist." - Alte Bleistiftnotiz zum Schreiber am Fuß der ersten Seite, Ränder etwas stockfleckig, sonst tadellos.
