Otto Jahn und Adolf Michaelis – Briefwechsel 1848 bis 1869 : Kommentierte Textausgabe

"The present edition is a monumental achievement: it is very carefully produced (with next to no misprints in 857 pages!), with an informative introduction to the letters and the writers (pp. 1–19), a chronological overview on their lives and a chronological list of the letters (pp. 29–39). A very great asset are the seven different indices (pp. 795–856) on a variety of subjects mentioned in the letters: people, geographical names, modern literature, PhD theses of various younger scholars, ancient authors and editions of their works, ancient sculpture and architecture, ancient vases, persons and subjects from musicology and finally key words. These make the huge volume easily accessible to readers with a variety of specialized interests. [...] All in all, this edition of letters offers much more than just a contribution to the history of scholarship: we get here a whole overview of an epoch, with academia, culture, politics, different countries and many different places viewed and described through the eyes of two highly cultivated and educated chroniclers whose personal involvement makes it all the more entertaining. It is—apart from its value to classics—simply a pleasure to read."
