    • Liebe website-Betreuer,

      leider bin ich lektoral vorbelastet, deshalb möchte ich Sie auf einen kleinen Druckfehler dieser Seite aufmerksam machen. Es muss statt “144 mitelalterliche Handschriften” richtig heißen: “144 mittelalterliche Handschriften”.
      Bitte verzeichen Sie mir meine Pedanterie!

      Mit freundlichen und anerkennenden Grüßen

      Dr. Josef Wagner
