In 1798, astronomer Franz Xaver von Zach in Gotha and publisher Friedrich Justin Bertuch in Weimar launched the first astronomical‐geographical journal, Allgemeine geographische Ephemeriden (AGE). The journal was intended to provide professionals and interested lay readership with high‐quality maps, information about new discoveries, and statistical data. The periodical was shaped by Zach's expertise and Bertuch's economic potential. Their extraordinary collaboration and their different conceptions of a specialised periodical also played a role in how the journal developed. This paper examines the collaboration between the editor and the publisher of the AGE and their different ideas of the journal's purpose. By analysing the content of the AGE during Zach's time as editor, as well as shortly thereafter, and comparing them to Zach's second journal, the Monatliche Correspondenz, this paper shows the differences between a scientific journal aimed at a professional readership and one intended to address an interested lay readership by providing information, maps, and illustrations. The following pages illustrate how Zach's and Bertuch's ideas of a successful journal were reflected in the structure and content of the periodicals.

将天文学放在地图上:发行第一本地理-天文学杂志

1798年,位于哥达的天文学家Franz Xaver von Zach和位于魏玛的出版商Friedrich Justin Bertuch发行了第一本天文地理杂志,Allgemeine geographische EphemeridenAGE该杂志旨在为专业人士和有兴趣的非专业读者提供高质量的地图,有关新发现的信息以及统计数据。该期刊由Zach的专业知识和Bertuch的经济潜力所塑造。他们的非凡合作以及对专业期刊的不同看法也对期刊的发展起了作用。本文研究了AGE的编辑者和发行者之间的合作以及他们对期刊目的的不同看法。通过分析Zach担任编辑期间以及此后不久的AGE内容,并将其与Zach的第二本期刊《Monatliche Correspondenz》进行比较,本文显示了针对专业读者的科学期刊与旨在解决这一问题的科学期刊之间的差异通过提供信息,地图和插图来吸引感兴趣的非专业读者。接下来的页面说明了Zach和Bertuch关于成功期刊的想法是如何在期刊的结构和内容中得到体现的。
