Arct. BiblioGrösse 3471, Sabin 17 417David Cranz (1723–1777), Sekretär des Grafen Zinzendorf in Herrnhut, wurde 1761 nach Grönland entsandt, wo die Herrnhuter seit 1733 eine Mission in Neu Herrnhut und Lichtenfels (heute Akunnat; verlassen) unterhielten. Seine Erlebnisse und die Ergebisse seines einjährigen Aufenthaltes fasste er in einem ausführlichen Bericht zusammen, der ausser einer Geschichte der Mission selber auch eine landeskundliche Beschreibung Grönlands (Geographie, klimatische Verhältnisse, Geologie, Botanik und Zoologie) und der eingeborenen Eskimobevölkerung enthält. Die englische Version erschien nur 2 Jahre nach der deutschen Erstausgabe (Barby/ Leipzig 1765).
