Christian Joseph Jagemann

Christian Joseph Jagemann (1735, Dingelstädt – 5 February 1804, Weimar) was a German scholar, court-advisor and librarian.

Against his parents' wishes Christian became a monk, entering the Augustinian monastery at Erfurt in 1752.

He reconciled with his parents and returned home, but then had to go to Rome and Florence as a Catholic priest.

Converting to Protestantism, in 1775 he became advisor and librarian to duchess Anna Amalia in Weimar.

By his written works he promoted knowledge of the Italian old masters to Germany.
