Anette Hagan, originally from Germany, is Rare Books Curator for Early Printed Collections to 1700 at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh. A graduate of the University of Mainz in English, Divinity and German, she also holds a PhD in English philology from the University of Edinburgh, published by Peter Lang under the title Urban Scots Dialect Writing in 2002; a postgraduate diploma in Library and Information Studies from Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen; and a MTh by research from New College, Edinburgh. Greatly extended, this was published by Wipf & Stock in the Princeton Theological Monograph Series in 2013 under the title Eternal Blessedness for All?

Outside the field of book history, her interests revolve around the life and work of Friedrich Schleiermacher. She has co-edited two volumes of the Kritische Gesamtausgabe (IV 1+2, Schleiermacher’s translations of works in English) with Professor Günter Meckenstock and is currently transcribing David Friedrich Strauß’s notes of Schleiermacher’s lectures on the introduction to the New Testament.
