Summary

Treatise concerning the history of legislative assemblies (Landtagen), including so-called committee assemblies (Ausschusstagen), in the electorate of Saxony from 1185 until 1718, with a particular focus on the history of taxation. The manuscript evidently corresponds to a work that has been attributed to Bernhard von Zech, who served as a minister at the Saxon court in Dresden from 1691 until his death. That work was first published in 1753 by Friedrich Carl von Moser in his edited series Diplomatische und historische Belustigungen (vol. 1, pp. 185-336). A second, expanded version was published by Daniel Gottfried Schreber in 1754 (2nd edition in 1769), under a title that extended the analysis to the year 1728 (Ausführliche Nachricht von den churfürstlich-sächsischen Land- und Ausschusstägen von 1185 bis 1728); Schreber apparently added two appendices, including a table of Saxon legislative assemblies up to 1731. In 1793, a 3rd edition of Schreber's version was published, in which the table of legislative assemblies was extended by an unknown author to the year 1787. The present manuscript contains a list of the legislative assemblies up to 1728 (p. 19), as well as two displays concerning the rates of certain taxes (Pfennig-Steuern; Quatembersteuern), with the years listed up to 1750 (pp. 126, 129), although data is given only up to 1704.
