Abstract
The article presents the journal: Die Aegyptische Finsterniss, a German-language satirical paper from 1849. The journal is the second from a pool of the identified German-language satirical periodicals published in the region (Wielkopolska-Greater Poland). Of transient character and not listed in any bibliography, its full complete edition, i.e. 6 issues in all, is still preserved in the collection of Poznań University Library. The present article does not venture into discussing the content of the journal or analyzing particular articles published in it. It simply shows the history of the journal placing it against the background of other Poznań satirical periodicals of the time. The article establishes certain facts concerning the editorial board and those pertaining to strictly publishing matters such as – periodicity, price, distribution, size and format and the inner structure of the journal.References
