‎First edition of Buddeus' work on philosophy in part made in collaboration with his students. In 1693, Johann Franz Buddeus took over a private collegium for philosophy students in Halle. Buddeus gathered a closed assembly of students in his house in his 'collegium privatissimum', where they presented ‘their questions and doubts’, both orally and on paper, and received their teacher’s answers - here first presented to the public in book form. Johann Franz Buddeus (1667-1729) born in Pomerania, was professor of Greek and Latin, moral philosophy and theology at Leipzig and Halle. ‎
