GAUDEAMUS OMNES! Today, appropriately for the ‘assumptio Mariae’, the announcement for the exhibition of the Medingen manuscripts in Hamburg has gone online. Come along for the opening on 3 September, 7pm, in the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg, Lecture Theatre. “For the first time, the seven Hamburg Mss. will be on show, together with loans from libraries in Augsburg, Bremen, Gotha, Göttingen, Hannover, Hildesheim, Lüneburg and Wolfenbüttel. A unique opportunity to see a treasure reunited that has been scattered since the Lutheran reformation.”
All welcome!
