  abstract  = {Humboldt wrote about Mexico from the perspective of a scientific explorer and naturalist. His works include his diaries, the Essai politique sur le royaume de la Nouvelle-Espagne, the Tablas g{\´e}ograficas, the Vues des Cordill{\`e}res and a geographic atlas. Concerning the scientific aspect, the lack of a section on Mexico in the Relation historique is not a real deficit, since this can be found in the Essai. But only the diaries and letters from the journey, both published by the Alexander-von-Humboldt Research Centre, Berlin, can be considered an adequate substitute. The following will show the origin of Humboldt's writings on Mexico, offer historical and bibliographical facts and present the publications "Beitr{\"a}ge zur Alexander von Humboldt-Forschung", as well as Humboldt's handwritten estate as far as they are available to us.},

The paper first deals with Humboldt's scientific activities before his election and then goes into detail as far as his integration into the work of the Academy is concerned. Humboldt was elected as a chimiste c{\´e}l{\`e}bre, but as a member of the Academy he did not work as a chemist. When Humboldt proposed in 1837 to classify the members of each class in special fields, he chose for himself the field of "mineralogy-geology".},

Thus, an attempt is made to answer the question why Humboldt liked to call himself "the old man from the mountains", and whether or not he found it appropriate to be called "Aristotle of our age."},

The point of reference is his relation to Schelling and to a series of investigators of nature and of physicians closely connected to Naturphilosophie. It is shown that in the correspondence of Humboldt with this group the content underwent a transformation. Scientific exchanges and a general interpretative consensus were over the years more and more replaced by social cooperation over academic appointments, and collaboration over other political problems within the scientific establishment. Humboldt fit Schelling and other partners with whom he cooperated into a network of relationships that rested on mutual social support.},

A plan for a Humboldt Digital Library examines the structures and features of this representational system in print and proposes models for converting these materials to electronic form. Several issues posed by Humboldt's works include: establishing authoritative standard editions in several languages, creating high-resolution access to the many visual innovations in the works, and using software to restore the grand concept that all of the separate disciplines of study can be seen as interrelated parts of the whole. Using techniques of geographic visualization, a prototype is planned which will connect this historical body of knowledge with modern scientific databases.},

  abstract  = {Kurz vor seiner Abreise nach S{\"u}damerika erwarb HUMBOLDT zur Erg{\"a}nzung seiner Instrumentenausr{\"u}stung ein ganz besonderes Pr{\"a}zisions-Taschenchronometer, gefertigt von dem ber{\"u}hmten Schweizer Uhrmacher Louis BERTHOUD (1753-1813) mit der Fertigungsnummer 27. Dieser Zeitmesser ging, wie HUMBOLDT durch astronomische Vergleichsmessungen in Frankreich und Spanien auf der Anreise zum Einschiffungshafen La Corunna 1799 feststellte, außerordentlich genau. HUMBOLDTs L{\"a}ngenbestimmungen mit Hilfe dieses "time-keepers" auf der Atlantik-{\"U}berfahrt und sonstigen Seefahrten waren deshalb immer besser als die der Nautiker. Er konnte dadurch exakte Beschreibungen der Meeresstr{\"o}mungen machen und durch Vergleich mit der Schiffsversetzung durch diese konkrete Angaben zu deren Richtung und St{\"a}rke berechnen. Zudem brauchte er die BERTHOUD-Uhr f{\"u}r zahlreiche astronomische Ortsbestimmungen, geod{\"a}tische Messungen auf Land. Die Uhr geh{\"o}rte vorher dem bekannten franz{\"o}sischen Seefahrer, Mathematiker und Geod{\"a}ten Jean Louis BORDA (1733-1799), mit dem HUMBOLDT 1798 kurz vor dessen Tod in Paris wissenschaftlichen und instrumentenkundlichen Austausch pflegte. Aus zahlreichen Abschnitten der Reisebeschreibung und Hinweisen in Briefen und anderen Werken geht hervor, daß HUMBOLDT gerade an diesem Zeitmesser, neben Thermometer und Barometer sein drittes Basisinstrument, wegen der Vorgeschichte der Uhr, ihrer Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeit und N{\"u}tzlichkeit f{\"u}r alle seine wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten geradezu liebevoll gehangen hat. Leider ist dieser Chronometer nicht mehr vorhanden, sein Aussehen und ihre Funktionsweise l{\"a}ßt sich aber aus HUMBOLDTs eigenen Beschreibungen und der horologischen Literatur erschließen.},
