‎Rare first edition of Schaumburg’s historical and political analysis on the Treaty of Seville (1729), which involved the transportation of Spanish troops, guaranteed for the benefit of Don Carlos, later known as Charles III of Spain. Johann Gottfried Schaumburg (1703 - 1746) was a German legal scholar and professor. Educated in Zerbst, Görlitz and Wittenberg, he studied philosophy and law under prominent scholars like Christian Thomasius and Justus Henning Böhmer. After earning his doctorate in 1723 he pursued an academic career, holding positions at the universities of Rinteln and Jena where he became a professor of law, court counselor, and rector in 1743.‎
