[Leipzig] (1765) Source: Niedersächsische Staats-und Universitätsbibliothek 2 HLL I, 8075 (1) Citation: Philipp Erasmus Reich and the Leipzig publishers' cartel (1765), Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), eds L. Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: d_1765 Full title The first basic law of the newly-established German Publishers' Association (Buchhandlungsgesellschaft) Full title original language Erstes Grundgesetz der neuerrichteten Buchhandlungsgesellschaft in Deutschland Abstract This charter of the German Publishers' Association to prevent reprinting was the result of the Leipzig-based publisher Philipp Erasmus Reich's initiative to build up a cartel of non-reprinting publishers. It was one of several steps undertaken by Reich in his struggle against reprinting, which eventually led to the Saxonian Statute of 1773. The charter was signed on 10 May 1765 at the first meeting of the Association, when Reich was also elected its first secretary. The signatories pledged themselves to "suspend any business dealings with dishonourable reprinters" and to themselves undertake reprints in revenge for reprints carried out to the detriment of fellow-members (pp. 6-7). The commentary focusses on the economic background of the dispute between the influential Leipzig publishers, who sought to implement their business model of money trade and the other booksellers, who tried to retain the traditional barter system. Furthermore the case of Gellert's works being reprinted in Berlin is identified as one of the reasons for Reich's initiative.
