Anke (as I have acknowledged in the book's preface) did crucial German translation for me by taking FILM pictures of old books and journals and then transcribing in Word docs and translating word for word, and all this just out of the goodness of her heart! So important to the gum process because multiple printing and tricolor came from that area, not England or France. Those three countries were the major players, with each contributing much to the process. And as I have stated here before when the stain test was such a hot topic on this list, the dreaded titrated stain test originated there, which is actually quite an ingenious invention because it meant the "scientification" of gum was occurring and that someone gave a hoot.
