In 1731, Zedler asked Franckenstein to be the lead editor of the planned Universal Lexicon.He already had some experience with the book market. He was a colleague and confidant of Professor Johann Burckhardt Mencke, publisher of the journal "New Learned Works" and other periodicals, a supporter of Zedler's mammoth project.The first two volumes were prepared under Franckenstein's leadership.After two years, at a time of financial crisis, he fell out with Zedler and resigned from the job. His successor was Paul Daniel Longolius.Franckenstein died in Leipzig two months later, on 10 May 1733. (en)
