GOETHE, Johann Wolfgang von (1749-1832). Zur Kenntniss der böhmischen Gebirge. [In ‘Zur Naturwissenschaft überhaupt, besonders zur Morphologie’ 1. 1., Stuttgart and Tübingen: Cotta, 1817]. [Bound with:] Der Kammerberg bey Eger. [Stuttgart and Tübingen: Cotta, 1820].

Presentation copy of a rare offprint, affectionately inscribed and signed by Goethe for the Austrian geologist Franz Riepel. It derived from Zur Naturwissenschaft überhaupt, a collection of Goethe’s natural science writings published between 1817 and 1824. The description reads ‘H. Riepel / Zu Erinnerung froehlicher und wohlgenützter Stunde[n] / Carlsbad Am 28 Aug 1818’. At the time Riepel was working on a geological map of Bohemia, which was published the following year: Goethe’s study on Bohemian mountains would have been a useful reference and an item of productive conversation between the two friends.

Octavo (185 x 110mm); (very occasional spots, minor blemishes to the gutter of last leaf, one letter of the dedication inscription trimmed by the binder). 19th-century embossed blue cloth, gilt edges, red silk bookmark. Provenance: Austrian geologist Franz Riepel (1790-1857, dedication inscription on front flyleaf) - Karl Gerbert von Hornau (bookplate).
