Geschichtswissenschaften – Einzige Ausgabe der historischen Abhandlung, posthum aus dem Nachlass ediert und herausgegeben von dem Göttinger Juristen und Historiker Christian Ludwig Scheidt (1709-1761). - Graesse II, 459 - Der Historiker Johann Georg von Eckhart (1664-1730) war zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts Sekretär von Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz und ab 1706 Professor der Geschichte an der Universität Helmstedt. Nach Leibniz' Tod wurde er Bibliothekar und Hofhistoriograph des Hauses Hannover. Im Jahr 1723 zwang ihn die arge Zerrüttung seiner ökonomischen Verhältnisse dazu, seine Stellung preiszugeben und mit Zurücklassung seiner Familie zu fliehen. In Würzburg trat er der römischen Kirche bei und wurde schließlich unter Fürstbischof Joh. Philipp v. Schönborn Hof- und Universitätsbibliothekar (Vgl. ADB 5, S. 627-631). - Gutes, sauberes Exemplar.
