This paper discusses the contribution of Hegels' first biographer to the overall understanding of his work through the elaboration and analysis of theses and remarks related to the earliest roots of Hegels' speculation in his youth, i.e. pre-Jena period and certainly the most problematic and least known phase of his philosophical worldview and written expression. The aim of this con-tribution is, on the one hand, to point out the inestimable importance of the content presented in this biographical overview, as well as the significance of the material consulted, on which the biography is based and which has survived only in a deficiently fragmented form. On the other hand, an important part of the research presented here consists of highlighting and correct historical and critical contextualization of certain inconsistencies and interpretive shortcom-ings, present in this first-ever written biography of Hegel, which had a significant impact on the subsequent understanding of the origin of the system and the dialectic in Hegels' later and more mature speculation.
