Between 1883 and 1885 the piece of paper was stolen from the manuscript, by then in the collections of the Royal Library in Berlin. Stefan Zweig probably acquired it in 1927 in the trade and later that same year loaned it to an exhibition commemorating Kleist's 150th birthday. In the course of the exhibition it was identified as the stolen fragment and re-acquired by the Library for 150 Marks.

DescriptionChoral settings in G major and E major for oboe [d’amore] and organ, 1746
LanguageGerman
Physical Description2 x 2 pages 33,6 x 22,5 cm
ProvenanceSpeyer collection
Acquired1934 or 1935. Originally this was a bifolium folded through the middle, containing both pieces (one in two textual variants). Each double-page contained, in two parallel columns, the notes to one of the chorals. Separation created two leaves, each bearing on one side the beginning of one choral and on the reverse the end of the other. It is neither certain that Stefan Zweig purchased both pieces together nor that the consequences of the separation were at all noticed: Hinterberger's relevant catalogues refer to two supposedly complete manuscripts.

Leonardo da Vinci

AuthorLeonardo da Vinci Person
TitleTwo autograph drawings
DescriptionA single leaf (possibly from the Codex Atlanticus ?) showing two autograph designs for machines: a maritime assault mechanism and a device for bending wooden beams, both with autograph annotations in mirror writing. On verso a note by the bookseller Lefebvre, from whose collection the sheet had once been confiscated, and additional annotations by other hands. Curiously, Stefan Zweig describes this piece both in his essay on the Morrison collection and on the index card of his own collection as a "Blatt mit zwei Flugmaschinen" ("Leaf with two flying machines"). However, there can be no doubt as to the identity of the leaf, since Morrison - from whose collection Zweig acquired it - owned no other drawings by da Vinci and the item is clearly identifiable from the annotations on the reverse.
