BTW: Interested in participating in any active cataloging efforts. Haven't done this before, and I don't see any passwords posted for LLs in progress, but please feel free to message me for anything that needs a hand.

A great question - I've been trying to figure out this week the state of things with this - which is a totally awesome find! This is one volume of 16, 14 of the others of which are in Spain (along with apparently many of the books from the original library) - I'm hoping they'll make the whole lot available!

WOW

There was a story about this on NPR today. I will try to come back with the link.

Yes!

Oh, yummy!

Goodness, what a find. Would be so interested in reading the summaries -- both of books with which I'm familiar, and also those not!
