476 Notes to Pages 216—223



  1. Vorländer, following the lead of many before him, claimed that Kant was close
    only to Johann Ernst Schulz and Kraus (Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, II, p. 318).
    This is demonstrably false, as I hope to have shown (I have relied to some extent
    on Stark, "Kants Kollegen").

  2. Altmann, Mendelssohn, p. 309.

  3. Hamann, Briefwechsel, IV, p. 260.
    no. See Kant, Latin Writings, ed. Beck, pp. 161—183. There is some evidence that
    Kant, who was dean during this semester, had some influence on this appoint¬
    ment. See Euler, "Kant's Amtstätigkeit," p. 83.

  5. Hamann, Briefwechsel, IV, p. 261.

  6. In Kant, Latin Writings, ed. Beck, p. 179, Kant directly addresses Kraus in a
    public defense, saying: "I turn finally to you, honored respondent, whom I have
    long counted among my best students. Endowed by nature with excellent gifts of
    intellect, you possess rich knowledge," etc.

  7. Kraus in Reicke, Kantiana, p. 60 (Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, p. 121).

  8. Maker, Kant in Rede und Gespräch, pp. I46f. Bernoulli goes on to describe how
    Kant first took him to the Court Library and then to a museum.

    Provincial-Blätter 3 (1847), pp. 13if.

  14. Borowski, Leben, p. 76f. See also Stark, "Wo lehrte Kant?", p. 98. Hamann speaks
    in a letter of November 24, 1777, of his own cock, "which has never been heard
    crowing, and which accordingly does not belong to the race of those loud-mouths
    {Schreihälse) which our Professor Kant does not like." Hamann, Briefwechsel, III,
    P- 387-

  15. Voigt, Kraus, p. 146. For the move see Hamann, Briefwechsel, V, p. 222, and Stark,
    "Wo lehrte Kant?", p. 99. But see Gulyga, Kant, p. 112, andVorländer, who think
    the move took place as early as 1775.
