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.

Dr. Josef Steiner of Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek is on vacation. So I left Addendum, edition #2 with Hahn Angelika this morning (Gutenberg Bible Hubay number 27).
