Dear Don Johnson:

Until this week I had never heard of von Lichberg/von Eschwege. Copies of "Die verfluchte Gioconda" appear to be extremely rare. As far as I can see, there is one copy in a university library in my home state. I will try to get hold of it, but with all the excitement here (even the dullest provincial papers have given the story some prominence) over the discovery I'm skeptical whether the volume will still be on the shelves come Monday, it hasn't been checked out yet ... Maar hasn't convinced me yet, but maybe his forthcoming (longer) TLS article will ...

All the best,

Manfred Voss
