Abstract
Summary The Autobiography of Gustav Hänel in a Manuscript from the Leipzig University Library – Edition and Commentary. Gustav Hänel (1792–1878) was a law professor in Leipzig, and is still famous for his numerous editions of early medieval Roman law texts. Besides a huge corpus of letters, there is also a handwritten autobiography kept in the Leipzig University Library (Cod. Haen. 58) as part of Hänel’s estate today. This autobiography not only contains personal information, but bears witness to 19th century Europe (and beyond). Since the document has hitherto scarcely been considered by research, an edition is provided here for the first time ever.
