    In the 18th century, short biographies of composers began appearing in reference works and historical-biographical lexicons, drawing information almost exclusively from obituaries that were often copied with errors. Bach is mentioned in some other writings from this era, such as a 1776 manuscript discussing a dispute Bach had with the principal of St. Thomas school, and he is credited as the teacher of later musicians like Christoph Nichelmann.

    In the course of the century, short biographies of composers have appeared in reference works such as

    Johann Adam Hiller's biography of recently renowned music scholars and composers [9], the historical-
    biographical lexicon of composer Ernst Ludwig Gerber [10] and the Friedrich Manual of Karl Gottlieb's
    literary-history Hirsching [11] The descriptions in such biographical articles are almost exclusively based
    on "Necrologist", often copied with errors. [12]

    Sometimes Bach also appears in other writings, for example in Johann Friedrich Koehler's manuscript on
    the history of the Leipzig school from 1776, which had caused a dispute between Bach and Johann
    August Ernesti, principal of the St. Thomas.[13] Bach is credited in print as the teacher of several later
    generations of musicians, such as Christoph Nichelmann.
