- Friedrich Noack
Friedrich Noack, who wrote under the pseudonym "F. Idus", (
20 April 1858 ,Gießen -1 February 1930 , Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German cultural historian and author, who wrote several articles for the Künstlerlexikon (arts dictionary)Thieme-Becker .In 1886 he translated
Sebastian Brant 's "Narrenschiff" and published it with his own illustrations.For his work on the Germans in Rome in the 18th century, he devised a comprehensive archive of notes. On 18000 slips of paper, it contains over 11000 entries on artists active in Rome and their clients, usually in
Gabelsberger shorthand , but also in newspaper cuttings and archive statements. Today the material is stored in the archive of theBibliotheca Hertziana in Rome and is accessible online.Works
