A really nice book, thank you very much, lyons. :-) By the way, the font from page 27 is the so-called 'Frakturschrift', a font from the group of broken fonts. From the middle of the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century it was the most widely used font in German-speaking countries. I can read them in print without any problem, but it becomes difficult with a handwriting, especially when words and sentences are close together. Fortunately, we live in a modern world in which you can scan old letters etc. and view them enlarged on a screen that makes reading easier.
