„In Hamburg sagt man Tschüss.“ singen wir ja häufiger in unserem Berliner De Gruyter-Chor. Nach einem intensiven Arbeitstreffen der Herausgeber*innen des Verfasserlexikons (VL17) heißt es jetzt also: Tschüss, Hamburg! #earlymodernsky #Verfasserlexikon

According to popular history, when the Crusaders invaded Tripoli in 1109, they burned all the books in the city's famous library. Our Artefact of the Month, a fragile leaf recently discovered in the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum in Istanbul, calls this account into question uhh.de/csmc-aom-36
