Ed. #7 left for Dr. Michael Embach at Stadtbibliothek-Weberbach in Trier, Germany
I only contacted Dr. Embach on the train ride to Trier so of course he was unavailable. I left Addendum, edition #7 for him to review for inclusion to their collection along with their copy of Gutenberg Bible Hubay #11. I’m loving how each of these libraries has such a different personality. The train ride to Trier from Mainz was…
Ed # 5 & 6 left at the Gutenberg Museum for review.
I had the delight of meeting Hannelore Mueller and Dr. Schutt-Kehm who were kind to receive me today.

While there, I was able to go thru the museum and Hannelore helped me make…

Found the collections office at 3:20 but Collections closes at 3. So…. I went to the Leopoldo museum. Oh Egon Schiele! What a great…
