- Ludwig van Beethoven: Laundry list
- Scope & Content:
-
Beethoven's last laundry list, with the quantity listed next to each item. Written in pencil on the right column of the recto and the upper left column of the verso. Laundry items listed include: 'Hemden 12, Leintücher 10, Handtüchen 8'. Marked on verso in red crayon 'das letzte Wäschzettel' and 'von Beethoven' in the hand, according to Zweig's notes, of Anton Schindler. With the pencil marks: '8' on the recto and 'A 19/31', '13/31' and '12' at the lower left of the verso.
The list is included in Zweig MS 214 (f. 15, item K) and was also transcribed by Zweig in Zweig MS 214 (f. 7). Zweig has noted on the verso the clothing items that were listed in the auction of Beethoven's household which closely match the items on the laundry list.
