Rare first edition of this official Latin address by Hans Christian Ørsted delivered as part of a formal academic convocation at the University of Copenhagen. Issued to mark the dual occasion of the commemoration of ecclesiastical reforms in Denmark and the inauguration of a new academic magistrate, the work reflects Ørsted’s ceremonial role as rector and his participation in shaping the intellectual and institutional life of the university.
