Der Teutsche Merkur

Der teutsche Merkur (English: The German Mercury) was a literary magazine published and edited by Christoph Martin Wieland. The magazine was modeled on French magazine, Mercure de France.[1] The first issue appeared in 1773. Wieland published and edited the magazine until 1790.[1] He used the Merkur as an organ to advance the Enlightenment[2] and to provide a platform to support literary taste.[1] In 1790 the title was changed to Der neue teutsche Merkur and continued publication until 1810.

gollark: Firecubez, do you like generic generics?
gollark: This all sounds horrifying.
gollark: Instead of just making a function generic over a normal type parameter or mutability or lifetime or purpleness or whatever, you can generically make a function which takes a generic parameter of whatever type of generic the callsite wants.
gollark: You can make functions which are *generic over what they're generic over*.
gollark: Macron has extremely advanced generics.
