New issue of Acta Periodica Duellatorum (9/1)

The first issue of Acta Periodica Duellatorum 2021 has recently seen the light of day!


At the beginning of June, a new issue of the academic journal Acta Periodica Duellatorum (9/1) was published.

In this issue, we recommend the article on the „discovery” of Master Meyer’s manuscript from 1561, which was regarded as lost for the last 200 years, but wasin fact lying comfortably on a library bookshelf.

We invite you to have a look!
