1250 - "The Robbers," a tragedy by Friedrich Schiller, 1782. Original "new edition revised for the Mannheim stage," Mannheim, published by Schwanische Buchhandlung in 1782. This small book is an edition of Schiller’s stage adaptation of “The Robbers” from 1782, which premiered on January 13, 1782, at the National Theater in Mannheim. Schiller’s first play is listed here as a “tragedy”—in previous editions (1781, 1782), it was classified as a “drama.” The cast list names the actors: for example, the actress playing Amalia is listed as Mlle Baumann and not Mlle Toscani, which indicates that this is not the first edition of *The Robbers* for the premiere, but rather for a later performance with a different cast. The booklet shows signs of age and wear; the signature on the title page is likely that of a former owner of the book. The book was restored at the renowned Berlin court bookbindery W. Collin, which from the 19th century until the end of the monarchy was among the last court bookbinders to the Prussian kings and German emperors (bookbinder’s stamp on the inside of the book cover). An early and rare edition of *Die Räuber* (The Robbers), one of the most important works in German literary history. Its authenticity has been confirmed by the Schiller National Museum in Marbach.
