Henry Fuseli's Translation Of Macbeth?

Question

Can anyone please tell me what year Fuseli translated this book into German? I only know it was when he was a teenager, but a date would be really helpful.

Answer 1

Apparently the translation was done while he was still training to be a prieat, before 1861; the text has been lost:
"At Carolinum in Zürich he had himself attempted a translation of his favorite piece Macbeth an effort which has not been handed down."
