In short, Czar Peter's last months are as follows:
Drs Blumentrost, Bidloo and Horn operated on Peter Ist in the summer of 1724 to cure his urinary tract and bladder infection however he never really recovered and was feeling sick everafter. He nevertheless visited first Schluesselburg (11th October), returning St Petersburg (27th October) and then, after asking in a letter his trusted associate general Munnich, responsible for carrying on the constuction of Ladoga canal in St Petersburg, to arrange for his overwater instead of overland transport, he proceeded to Lakhta in November were rumors want him saving some drowning sailors by sending his own boat for the purpose and walking into the water which might have affected his health leading him to his death in late January 1725.
Returning first to our previous 1724 timeline, we find our hero in Paris March 1724(Voltaire) travelling north to Leipsig April 7th, (Bach), then in London May the 1st (as Amyand or Ant. Cocchi) and then, after Peter's 1724 summer operation, we see him again 25th of June in Gera(Bach), appointed assessor of mines by King Frederick of Denmark July 15th (Swedenborg) while he is in Köthen with Anna Magdalena for guest performances first days of July, reaching Paris (as Marivaux) July the 8th, departing (as Voltaire) October 10th to return to London( as Handel) October 31st, 1724.
Let's check what his other "nordic" aliases were doing in re period, pre and post the Czar's death, exhausting all their "availalbe concrete data":
- Hasse, who presented in Brunswick 1st August 1721 his first opera, must have rubbed elbows with Christian August (who on 14 August 1721, became a major-general), is next on record as having his serenata Antonio e Cleopatra, performed , September 1725 at Naples (if he did).
- Christian August himself is next recorded, on 8 November 1727, in Vechelde (10 km west of Brunswick) marrying Johanna Elisabeth of Holstein-Gottorp*
- We see Bach next in Leipsig, late January 1725, performing his-quite characteristic for the circumstances-church cantatas (What my God wants, may it always happen),[1] BWV 111, and (I have God in heart and mind), BWV 92, while also composing his "Rodelinda, regina de' Longobardi", onstage London, 13th Feb, when he also addresses a letter to The Right Honourable The Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament, stating that he was born "at Halle, in Saxony, out of His Majesty's Allegiance", but being of the Protestant religion, and having "given Testimony of his Loyalty and Fidelity to His Majesty", he requested that his name be added to the bill 'An Act for Naturalisating Louis Sechenhaye'. While there he also does his marital duties, thus his son (John Montagu's) Edward Montagu Churchill Montagu, Marquess of Monthermer conceived late feb 1725).
- At "The Natural philosophy of Emanuel Swedenborg: A Study in the Conceptual" by David Dunér, p.109, we find a letter to Emm.Swedenborg from his alleged "brother Jesper", February 1725, asking him on the arrest of a Benjamin Dunster (propably "Dunstér"), a Finn, who was arrested, December 1724, for pretending to be the late King Charles XII of Sweden,dead in 1718. Dunster, declared insane, died allegedly in prison 1730. ("brother Jesper" is propably Emm.Swedeborg's "coordinator" from London. King Karl's impersonation incident is for the swedish historian to explain.Imo, Benjamin Dunster was neither imprisoned, nor did he die Danemark, 1730 but lived to old age.)
- After his marriage of 1723 to Benigna , we find next von Biron: "at Anna's coronation (19 May 1730), he became grand chamberlain, a count of the Empire, on which occasion he is said to have adopted the arms of the French ducal house of Biron, and was presented with an estate at Wenden with 50,000 crowns a year.[2]"
- With regard to Count Carl Gustaf- with the unlikely for a swede family name of -"Tessin" (one has only to look for Mme Tencin's biography**, to find her connection to Montesquie/John Law and many more aliases of our hero and also find the name's provenance: I did, and the results will be published next,together with the last of our suspect aliases, his alter ego "Saint Saphorin):
- He began his public career in 1723, at which time he was a member of the Holstein faction, which promoted the claims of the young Duke Carl Frederick of Holstein to the Swedish throne. In 1725 Tessin was appointed ambassador at Vienna, and in that capacity counteracted the plans of the Swedish chancellor, Count Arvid Horn, for joining the anti-Russian Hanoverian Alliance.He married Ulrika Sparre in 1727 and we may find the specific date looking at her, not his, wiki biography:She married Carl Gustaf on 27 August 1727 (see above what he did next in 1727, the rest of his story tallying with Voltaire's own).
- Little is known about Inventor Sven Åderman, no "concreter" dates than :
- In 1723 Frederick (Ist, King of Sweden from 1720, , died 25th March 1751)rewarded the military inventor Sven Åderman with the estate of Halltorps on the island of Öland, for improving the rate of fire of the musket.As a king, he was not very respected. When he was crowned, it was said; "King Charles we recently buried, King Frederick we crown – suddenly the clock has now passed from twelve to one". It is said about him, that although a lot of great achievements in the country's development happened during his reign, he never had anything to do with them himself. When he died, Carl Gustaf Tessin said about him:Under the reign of King Frederick, science has developed – he never bothered to read a book. The merchant business has flourished – he has never encouraged it with a single coin. The Stockholm Palace has been built – he has never been curious enough to look at it.
- Christian Goldbach (& Euler): He became professor of mathematics and historian at St. Petersburg in 1725. He met Euler there, and when he left St. Petersberg three years later, he and Euler maintained an active correspondence. It was Goldbach who first whetted Euler's interest in number theory. In fact, what we refer to today as "Goldbach's Conjecture" (that every even integer is the sum of two primes), was first stated in a letter from Goldbach to Euler.(allegedly from Moscau June 1762)
(Continued, first with detailed 1725 timeline("covering" the doctors triad) and then with "Saint Saphorin" and Munchausen/Munnich. Breynes wikibio contains just a list of science publications.)
P.S 30/4/14 : Having yesterday added in previous timelines two more "nordic and morbid" events (Nov 1708 and Dec 1718), very much related and, for me at least, quite "conclusive" historically and very revealing of main hero's character, duties and "efficiency", I had then to face the dilemma either going back to examine the deaths of Carl of Sweden and his elder sister or carry on, as prescheduled, with 1725 timeline.
It's not just that both options technically are equally hard or that my presentation schedule had to change:
The discovery already of such a number of such distinguished "skeletons in the family closet" (both, family and "closet", total strangers to me until some fifteen years ago) deeply affected my mood to the downside, their ways being against all my beliefs, values, principles and aesthetic, which (BVP&Ae) they moreover so successfully had preached earlier, while acting the exact opposite, to then justify their metamorphosis thru Imm. Kant's corner-cutting transcendental philosophy,spreading the disease further downwards ....
A true mess, perhaps well deserved, one might think, if blood carries the stigma of ancestor actions. Well, hoping it doesn't, after losing my sleep last night, I then thought it's for the Swedes to decide whether to rethink and review, or not, their 1708 &1718 losses and for me to proceed to 1725 as promised.
Whether I then keep on going to 1815 is another matter: It gets even messier later-on and, satisfied that already sound foundations have been layed for the rest of "the story" to be revealed (one has just to follow researching each alias history to the end, following preferably the money trail), I'll propably end my posts after 1725 and " Saint Saphorin" (also "Saint Symphorien" originating from grk συμφορά ie calamity), may he rest- and leave us all- in peace!
*just two weeks after, October 17th, 1727, with Bach himself at the harpsichord Bach's TRAUER ODE for the Funeral of Queen Christiane Eberhardine of Poland/Saxony was performed at a special Memorial Service, Paulinerkirche, Leipzig. (Libretto by Gottshed who also discovered Neuberin and her "mann" then: Mit dem Erwerb des sächsischen Aufführungs-Privilegs kam die Neuberin nach Leipzig. Die »Neuberin« fällt durch die Vielseitigkeit ihres Spiels, ihr Temperament und ihre Schlagfertigkeit auf. 1727 gründet sie mit ihrem Mann eine eigene Truppe, erwirbt das sächsische Aufführungs-Privileg und spielt mit ihrer Wanderbühne in den »vorzüglichsten Städten Deutschlands«. Leipzig wird sie von Gottsched entdeckt).
