But only one letter has survived. This letter was written by Kreil on September 3, 1836; one day later Kreil wrote a letter to Carl Friedrich Gauss with nearly the same contents, some sentences are even literally corresponding. Four letters from Kreil to Humboldt were published in the „Annalen der Physik und Chemie". Some letters were mentioned in the biographical literature dealing with Kreil. These letters show, that the correspondence covered at least the period until 1851 and give information about the intensive relationship between the two scientists. A further interesting source is the library of Humboldt which unfortunately has not survived. The catalogue mentions nine works of Kreil some of them where annotated by Humboldt. This makes it plausible that the contacts even lasted until 1856.}, language = {de} } @misc{SchwarzAndressEtteetal.2016, author = {Schwarz, Ingo and Andress, Reinhard and Ette, Ottmar and Puig-Samper, Miguel {\´A}ngel and Garrido, Elisa and Schmuck, Thomas and Rott, B{\"a}rbel}, title = {HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {XVII}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {32}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Knobloch, Eberhard}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1617-5239}, doi = {10.18443/hinvol17iss322016}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-90812}, pages = {109}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Ingo Schwarz: Opfer f{\"u}r die Wissenschaften „in dem Drange wichtiger {\"o}ffentlicher Begebenheiten" Briefe von Alexander von Humboldt an Friedrich Wilhelm III., 1806 Reinhard Andress: Eine Bitte an Thomas Jefferson um Tabaksamen und Tabak: ein unver{\"o}ffentlichter Brief Alexander von Humboldts Ottmar Ette: Naturaleza y cultura: perspectivas cient{\´i}fico-vitales de la ciencia de Humboldt Miguel {\´A}ngel Puig-Samper, Elisa Garrido: The presentation of the results of Alexander von Humboldt's voyage to Carlos IV Thomas Schmuck: Humboldt in Goethes Bibliothek B{\"a}rbel Rott: Alexander von Humboldt brachte Guano nach Europa - mit ungeahnten globalen Folgen}, language = {de} }
