Edition 16, pending review at Bibliotheque Municipale St.Omer, France
I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Reny Cordennier at the bibliotheque in Saint Omer. As it is a public library, and as France has strict rules on the separation between church and state, the Addendum needs to be evaluated (to determine it doesn’t belong to a state defined sect, e.g. Scientology, etc.) for it to be included in their…
Edition #9 accepted by Hochschul- und Landesbibliothek in Fulda. Gutenberg Bible Hubay #4.
So I was able to meet briefly with the very pragmatic librarian Gerda Lobe-Roeder in Fulda who accepted Addendum edition #9 for inclusion in their catalogue along with Gutenberg Hubay #4.
Edition # 8 accepted by Karin Kuhn, head of Hofbibliothek, Aschaffenburg
Gutenberg Bible, Hubay #7, now has new company in the stacks of the most beautiful Hofbibliothek in Aschaffenburg, Germany, Thanks to Karin Kuhn. She suggested I visit Pompeiianum which was so delicately painted with flowers and insects. Karin Kuhn, with Addendum Edition #8.
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. The Gutenberg Museum in Mainz has 2 of the 180 copies, Hubay numbers 8 & 9, so they were gifted Addendum Edition 5 & 6 to review. While there, I was able to go thru the museum and Hannelore helped me make…
Ed. # 4 left with R. Mansour for Dr. Tonnies of Universitatbibliothek, Frankfurt.
So Universitatsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg in Frankfurt, Germany holds Gutenberg Hubay #6. I was directed to the Handschriften Department on the 3rd floor. If I understood correctly, Dr. Tonnies is on vacation but will look at it in a week.
Ed.#2 left for Dr. Steiner of Austrian National Library.
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).
ONB collections closed for the day, but shivers upon the approach!
So. I arrived at the Vienna train station at 1:40. Dropped my bag at a pension, put Addendum Edition #2 in my bag and found the Austrian National Library at 3 ( it closes at 4). 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…
