Societas eruditorum incognitorum in terris Austriacis (from Latin: "The Society of Anonymous Scholars in the Austrian Lands") was the first learned society in the lands under control of Austrian Habsburgs. It was established, formally, in 1746 at the university and episcopal town of Olomouc in order to spread Enlightenment ideas. Its monthly journal Monatliche Auszüge was the first scientific journal in the Habsburg Monarchy.
