Maximilianus Hell (1720-1792) - Munin

Fig. 1c and 1d
The corresponding pages from the second edition of Sajnovics’ Demonstratio (1771,
unpaginated introduction). One notes that Hell’s instructions in Fig. 1b have been followed
closely. Among the most significant alterations is the consistent designation of Hell as a
Hungarian. For example, whereas the first edition had “Hic enimvero inter Lappones versari
licuit Ungaro …” (Fig. 1a), the second edition has “His enimvero inter Lappones versari licuit
Ungaris … (Fig. 1d; “For on this occasion, it was possible for Hungarians to spend time
among the Lapps …” [my emphasis]).
