Oh definitely :) The best bakery tour is the "Punschkrapferl" tour, where you try out the Punschkrapfen of every bakery... hehehe!

SEAC XXXI about to start. My poster is looking good ♥️ Looking forward to my talk on Friday as well... I‘m going to talk about astronomical terminology at the beginning of the 17th century.

Graz has all their Kepler monuments wrong! His workplace (the Stiftsschule) is now a shop for sports gear and the statue in the city park honours the laws of planetary motion (which he discovered in Prague and Linz).

Several books and articles promised "a text majorly contributing to the development of the German scientific language", published in 1650. I finally managed to track it down and hey ho, it's full of Latin words (especially the termini technici) 😀

You gotta love Early Modern title pages 😀 [Erasmus Francisci - Das eröffnete Lust-Haus der Ober- und Nieder-Welt (1676)]

TIL: until the 20th century, Copernicus was known to the locals as "Copernicus, the medical doctor". Here's a fragment of the first monument. Notice he's not holding an astronomical instrument, but a plant.
