Michael Huber (writer)

  • ... that Michael Huber's translation of Salomon Gessner's works into French made Gessner the best known German-language poet in Europe before Goethe? Source: Stackelberg 1984: "Über Hubers Übersetzung wurde der Zürcher Idyllendichter zum bekanntesten Dichter deutscher Zunge vor Goethe — und das nicht nur in Frankreich, sondern im ganzen gebildeten, französisch-sprechenden Europa, das Gessner entweder in dieser Sprache oder in Übersetzungen las, die auf Hubers Version fußten.", my own English translation "Via Huber's translation, the Zurich idyllic poet [Gessner] became the most well known poet in the German tongue before Goethe – not only in France, but in the entirety of educated, French-speaking Europe, which read Gessner either in that language or in translations based on Huber's version."

Interesting article on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook works for me. How about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
Thank you Gerda! The source is online (with TWL access) here. I generally avoid infoboxes for pre-20th century people who did more than one thing and do not fit neatly into modern categorisation schemes. —Kusma (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
