The following is the complete list of subscribers (Praenumeranten) given at the beginning of Wolfgan von Kempelen's Mechanismus der menschlichen Sprache. In each case where I was able to find any information on the individual, I include a link to resources on the web about that individual or at least his or her family.
I'd welcome any feedback (rws@google.com) especially any that would help me expand the list of subscribers that we can identify.
Note that the font size changes here reflect those in the printed version of the list, which you can see here. The font size reflects the "importance" of the individual.
