Johann Andreas Cramer (1723-88) was one of the founders of the Bremer Beiträge. He became a pastor in 1748 and achieved great fame, becoming on recommendation court preacher in Copenhagen in 1754, and also professor of theology. He was implicated in Struensee's fall (1771) and banished, but was recalled in 1772. In 1774 he settled in Kiel as professor of theology. In Copenhagen he edited Der nordische Aufseher, publishing in it many of his own productions, which incurred the critical condemnation of Lessing in the Literaturbriefe. A collection of hymns (Das Schleswig-Holsteinische Gesangbuch, 1780) survived into the 19th c. His collected poems were published in 1782. Condition: one foxing mark to bottom of image. |
