metadata.value: The article presents a publication of two epigrams written by D. G. Messeschmidt and dedicated
  to I. Ph. Breyn; both are preserved in the latter’s archive. The first epigram is an inscription
  in verse to Breyn’s portrait and was probably sent to him from Saint Petersburg following
  Messerschmidt’s return from Siberia, i.e. between 1727 and 1735 (and not 1701–1800 as
  indicated on the site of Dresden Fotothek). It is very likely that the inscription was meant
  to accompany the engraving a copy of which is preserved at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen
  Dresden (SKD, Kupferstich-Kabinett, Signatur/Inventar-Nr.: Anon 1, Singer 3769/9920) and
  may be seen on the website of Deutsche Fotothek Dresden (Archiv-Nr 169051). I. Ph. Breyn
  might have sent two portraits to Saint Petersburg, one of himself and one of his father, and
  Messerschmidt would have composed an inscription in verse for each. In 1739 an elegiac
  distich by Messerschmidt was published that was also incorporated in the frame of the portrait of Jakob Breyn, painted by the famous engraver P. G. Busch. S. S. Orekhov has suggested
  that P. G. Busch’s engraving might render the portrait drawn by the same unknown master
  (Deutsche Fotothek Dresden, Archiv-Nr 169050). Iohannes Philipp Breyn’s own portrait remained
  unpublished. The second poem is a dedication in an album that is preserved in I. Ph.
  Breyn’s museum in Gdansk (Forschungsbibliothek Gotha Chart. B 1002) and is dated November
  1716. The poem is untitled (the fact that is also emphasized in the text), but introduced by
  an epigraph in Old Hebrew that has been extensively commented upon by Cyrill von Buettner
  (Bitner). The Latin poem that abounds in assonances and complex word play leaves the feeling
  of a certain emotional strain. Both poems, however, reflect Messerschmidt’s general erudition
  and character, as well as his enthusiastic admiration for I. Ph. Breyn as a senior colleague in
  scientific and medical studies.
