Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1774 A founding date of 1774 is given on p.165 of Gross (2001). 1774 is also given as the official founding date in Societas Jablonovia einst und heute (Universitätsjournal (Universität Leipzig), Juli 2000, Heft 400). 1774 is further confirmed as an official founding date by the title of the following book in the GBV German Union cat.: Mit Wort und Tat : deutsch-polnischer Kultur- und Wissenschaftsdialog in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart ; Veröffentlichung zum 225. Jahrestag der Societas Jablonoviana 1774 - 1999 (by Dietrich Scholze. - Leipzig : Universitätsverl., 2001).
It is interesting to note, however, that the catalogue records for the first journal of the Society suggest that the Society was founded as early as 1771, not 1774. In addition, the records in Reuss suggest an even earlier date, namely 1770.
This mystery is explained on p.175 of Merian (2000), where the author mentions that, in the 1769, April 3 issue of the Neue Zeitunge[n] von gelehrten Sachen is found an announcement that Prince Jablonowski, after settling in Leipzig, had spoken for the first time of a Leipzig Society to whom he had proposed three prize questions. The author concludes that this prize announcement of 1769 marks the first activities of the Societas Jablonoviana, albeit as a private establishment, without yet any responsibilities and rights with respect to the Prince's government.
And on p.177 of Merian (2000), the author indicates that over the next few years the Prince brought more scholars into the Society, proposed prize questions to them, and published their responses as the 5 volumes of the Acta Societatis Jablonovianae. Not until the deposition of the Statutes on 1774, November 17, in which the Prince placed the Society under his protection, was the Society officially founded.
According to Societas Jablonovia einst und heute (Universitätsjournal (Universität Leipzig), Juli 2000, Heft 400), the Society was instrumental in founding in 1846 the Königlich Sächsische Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, which is now called the Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig (SAW).
The Society was active until 1948, when its leader moved to Jena. With the assistance of the Polish government, the Society was re-established in 1978 with the goal of advancing German-Polish economic and cultural relations.
