"Nonnenmacher" is sometimes thought to refer to the "nonnons" of
Invitation to a Beheading. See for example Leona Toker's Nabokov: The
Mystery of Literary Structures, pp. 120-21. If I am not mistaken the
detail of Nonnenmacher and his ten-volume History of Art was added only
in Nabokov's revised 1938 translation, which puts it quite close in time
to the composition of ITAB.
