Literature:

Prince Auguste of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (14th August 1747, Gotha - 28th September 1806, Gotha) was a German prince and a patron of the arts during the Age of Enlightenment. In 1777, he was appointed as one of three godparents to Princess Sophia of the United Kingdom, the fifth daughter of King George III. Considered to be an enlightened, open-minded and progressive prince, he gathered a witty circle around him at his palace in Gotha from 1778 onwards. He was also considered as one of the most important translators of French into Weimar Classicism
