Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: d_1857 Full title Publishing Right, including theories of the publishing contract and of reprinting, in accordance with the existing German and international laws, with special reference to the legislations of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony Full title original language Das Verlagsrecht, mit Einschluss d. Lehren von dem Verlagsvertrag u. Nachdr. nach d. geltenden deutschen u. internationalen Rechten mit bes. Rücksicht auf d. Gesetzgebungen von Oesterreich, Preussen, Bayern u. Sachsen Abstract With its index of 73 pages and extensive footnotes, including detailed references to the primary sources (statutes enacted in the German lands as well as in other countries) and to the secondary literature, this treatise by Oscar von Wächter (1825-1902) is one of the most comprehensive nineteenth-century compendia on copyright. After a historical introduction (pp.1-85), the main part of the book (pp. 89-738) systematically presents basic concepts with reference to German legislation and jurisdiction, as well as a number of earlier treatises. The last section (pp.741-832) gives an overview on foreign jurisdictions, with a particular focus on international treaties. According to Wächter, the author's right is purely a publishing right that can be completely alienated by means of a publishing contract. This view resembles British and American notions of copyright and was also invoked by Hitzig, Meinert, and Gerber. In this sense it was the direct opposite of the personalistic approach employed by Neustetel, Bluntschli, and Gareis.
