Detailed
Description		    A work by a Protestant minister who was also a professor of mathematics. In fact, one of his books, Cabbala algebraica (Stuttgart, 1827) seems to combine his two interests.

Wilhelm Ludwig Christmann (1780-1835) was a Protestant minister and teacher of mathematics. Dissapointed in his ambition to be a professor of mathematics at Tubingen, he became a confimed misanthropeand is said never to have left his house during the last ten years of his life.

He wrote many other works, including Nachricht von der sogenannten romanischen Sprache in Graubündten (Reutlingen, 1819), Ars cossae promota (Frankfurt a.m. (1814), et al.
