Comment on 17.1.-14.2.1797
These two books are unidentified.
However, it has been claimed – most probably erroneously – that one of the books was Immanuel Kant’s: Zum ewigen Frieden. Ein Philosophischer Entwurf, Königsberg 1795, that the German art historian in Rome, Carl Ludwig Fernow wanted Thorvaldsen to bring him.
For more on this case, see Fernow’s two letters, dated 19.11.1796 and 31.12.1796.
