Forgeries X Networks

Art forgeries have been a challenge for the art business and its collecting and preserving institutions not only since the sensational case of Wolfgang Beltracchi. From the end of the 19th century, a journal called "Mittheilungen des Museen-Verbandes - als Manuscript für die Mitglieder gedruckt und ausgegeben" was published, in which current incidents and findings concerning forgeries and suspected cases that had come to light were published.

Priestly libraries in the Dutch Republic

The pilot project aims to record the bibliographic information in the inventories of two priestly libraries of the Dutch Republic of the 18th century. The scholarly significance of such libraries is well known: They show what Catholic priests who served in the Dutch mission read or at least found useful. In addition, such libraries can tell us more about Dutch Catholic spirituality in the early modern period, as well as about interest in books that did not fall within the realm of theology and pastoral care.
