‘Crusius’s innovation lay not in his methods or his linguistic proficiency, but in the object of his curiosity: no other Western Christian of his time thought to produce such a detailed record of Ottoman Greece.’ Alexander Bevilacqua on the rediscovery of Greece: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

‘Crusius studied spoken Greek carefully, treating his visitors as crucial primary sources. Yet he regarded modern vernacular Greek as a corrupt version of its classical ancestor.’ Alexander Bevilacqua on the German cleric who invented modern Grecomania: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Ich hatte zwei tolles Tage auf der Konferenz ‘Alchemisches Wissen & praktisches Laborien’ in der Franckeschen Stiftungen. Das Zusammentreffen von Kolleg/innen, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Alchemie befassen, zeigte das Fruchtbarkeit der Zusammenarbeit. (weiteres Highlight = Wunderkammer!)

Snapshots from the Alte Pinakothek’s Rachel Ruysch exhibition — up close, the technical precision and inclusion of specimens that created amazing depth in Ruysch’s work was tangible. Brilliantly contextualised, engaging with the work of her father, sister Anna, and sottobosco’s of Van Schriek.
