Particulars
Heinrich Gustav Flörke edited Johann Georg Krünitz's Oekonomische Encyklopädie after Krünitz died in 1796, initially together with his brother Friedrich Jacob, and his editorship ended in 1813 after disagreements with Louise Pauli, the widow of publisher Joachim Pauli.
Heinrich Gustav Flörke then worked with Johann Georg Traßler on a cheaper pirated edition published in Brünn, which ceased when Prussian authorities banned its sale in 1815; Louise Pauli accused him of damaging the encyclopaedia's reference library by cutting pages from valuable books for printing.
