Fritsch (1666-1726)

Thomas Fritsch ( 1666- 1726), son of Johann Friedrich Fritsch, was one of the most important publishing booksellers of the early 18th century.Fritsch published from 1697 the poetry anthology edited by Benjamin Neukirch and made famous under the name Neukirch'sche Sammlung, which was to become a pioneer of the gallant style in poetry for the young generation of authors. In 1699 Fritsch brought Gottfried Arnold's spectacular Church and Heresy History to market. In 1709 Fritsch published the Allgemeine Historische Lexikon in 5 volumes, the German and expanded edition of Moreri's first great historical encyclopedia, originally published in one volume, which had first appeared in 1674, and in 1721 Jablonski's Allgemeines Lexicon der Künste und Wissenschaften.
