[Hamburg] (1659) Source: Scanned from a reprint edited by Reinhard Wittmann (Munich: Kraus International Publishing, 1981), based on a copy held at the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel Citation: Schupp: The Book Thief (1658), Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), eds L. Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Record-ID: d_1659 Full title The Book Thief. Warned and admonished by J.B. Schupp Full title original language Der Bücherdieb. Gewarnet und ermahnet durch J.B. Schuppium Abstract The "Book Thief" is a pamphlet by an author who had himself suffered reprinting and wanted to publicly warn and deter further reprinters. Johann Balthasar Schupp (1610-1661) was a trained theologian and worked as a preacher in Hamburg, as well as writing a number of satirical works, poems and historical treatises. The "Book Thief" includes open letters to Schupp's legal and commercial representative in Frankfurt, as well as a Royal Swedish privilege, the full text of which is given. Related to this document is a book by Aegidius Henning on book production from an author's perspective which includes chapters on the relationship between authors and publishers, on "thievish reprinting", and on plagiarism. Another related document is the preface to a chant-book by the mystic poet and composer Angelus Silesius which shows his awareness of the issue of plagiarism. These documents provide an insight into the state of mid-seventeenth-century authors' sense of their rights, their bargaining power, and their thoughts on plagiarism. Bibliography Wittmann, Reinhold.
