==Publication==
Much of the material had been published previously in periodicals. The collection was published in four volumes by {{ill|Carl Friedrich Kunz|de}} in [[Bamberg]] in 1814 and 1815, and in a revised two-volume version in 1819.<ref name=":0" /> The initiative to include the name of the 17th-century printmaker [[Jacques Callot]] in the title came from Kunze. Hoffmann knew little about Callot and his work at the time, but at Kunze's suggestion he looked through a collection of Callot's prints, enjoyed them and wrote an essay about Callot that opens the book.<ref>{{cite book |last=Schmidt |first=Olaf |year=2003 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OvYn-o5SrtUC&pg=PA88 |title='Callots fantastisch karikierte Blätter': Intermediale Inszenierungen und romantische Kunsttheorie im Werk E.T.A. Hoffmanns |series=Philologische Studien und Quellen |language=de |volume=181 |location=Berlin |publisher=Erich Schmidt Verlag |page=88 |isbn=9783503061822 }}</ref> Kunze was also the one who got [[Jean Paul]] to write a preface.<ref name=":0" />

==Legacy==
The book established the model for stories that Hoffmann would follow and develop further in his collections ''[[Night Pieces]]'' (1816–1817) and ''[[The Serapion Brethren (story collection)|The Serapion Brethren]]'' (1819–1821).<ref name=":0" />
