In many Germanophone countries, a habilitation is a post-doctoral degree intended to demonstrate a scholar's capacity for research in his or her field and is usually required to attain the rank of professor.

Sehr geehrter Herr Doctor,
Für die mir freundlichst zugesandte Schrift über die „Anorganischen Fermente“
danke ich Ihnen verbindlichst. Ich werde dieselbe selbstverständlich in den nächsten Tagen genau durchgehen & darin zweifellos noch eine ganze Zahl

mich speciell interessierender neuer Daten auffinden. Ich halte es für sehr angemessen, daß Sie Ihre bisherigen Untersuchungen über die H2O2 Katalyse, wenn auch natürlich noch keineswegs nach allen Richtungen abgeschlossen, zusammenfassend publicieren, um das Interesse rege zu machen. Dieser Tage habe ich selbst einige höchst merkwürdige Thatsachen über H2O2 aufgefunden, über die ich Ihnen gelegentlich berichten werde & die (– es handelt sich um activierende Wirkungen des Superoxyds auf Ferri- & Cuprisalze) Schönbein jedenfalls sehr gefreut hätten, als Belege für die Theorie der Antogonide & Bonide respektive der O-Polarisation in modernerer Auffassung.
Ergebenst grüssend in Eile
Ihr Ed. Schär.

Dear Dr. Bredig,
I would like to thank you most sincerely for your treatise on “Inorganic Ferments” that you kindly sent me. I will, of course, read through it carefully over the next few days and will no doubt find a lot of

of new data that are of special interest to me. In order to garner interest, I think it is quite appropriate that you publish a summary of your previous investigations into H2O2 catalysis, even though they are certainly far from complete. I have recently discovered some remarkable facts about H2O2, which I shall share with you sometime (regarding the activating effects of superoxide on ferric and cupric salts). These would have made Schönbein very happy as modern proof of the theory of antagonides and bonides in relation to O-polarization.
Warm regards (in haste),
Eduard Schär
