Linnéische Societät zu Leipzig =
Linnean Society in Leipzig

Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1789 The Society was founded in 1789, on January 31, according to p.213 of Lindner (2000). It was evidently (p.213 of Lindner (2000)) given the name Linnéische Societät, although it was also (see footnote 7 on p.213 of Lindner (2000)) referred to as a Naturforschende Privatgesellschaft zu Leipzig in a publication reporting on the Society: Nachricht von der am 31. Januar 1789 gestifteten naturforschenden Privatgesellschaft zu Leipzig (Leipzig, 1799).
It appears to have been a short-lived society, having been active for only around a decade, according to p.211 of Lindner (2000). It may have effectively ceased to exist after 1802, which, according to p.218, Lindner (2000) is when its Schriften series ceased to be published.

A Schriften der Linneischen Societät zu Leipzig

The holdings given in the record from the GBV German Union cat. are 1794-1802. This is, however, evidently not a complete run.
For example, from pp.216-217 of Lindner (2000) it appears that Johann Carl Schütz contributed an essay to this series as early as 1789, entitled Kurze Beschreibung des Zinnstockwerks zu Altenburg, and that in 1791, Andreas Gotthelf Schütz supplied the series with an essay entitled Beschreibung einger nordamerikanischen Fossilien.
On p.218 of Lindner (2000), it is stated that after 1802 the Schriften series did indeed cease.
