Abstract

The topic of this contribution is the relationship between letter and disputation in Early Modern times. The main part of the text is about letter-writing theory as it was presented in textbook-like manner in Early Modern dissertations, especially regarding the influence of the art of writing as Christian Weise taught it. Another emphasis lies in the theory of how to compose letters of recommendation. Another part of the essay lists areas in which research would be desired. Firstly, the interpretation of letters, which were included as paratexts of dissertations and could be used as proof of performance. Secondly, disputation and dissertation as topics in Early Modern correspondences. The latter are an important source for disputation and erudition history.
