These beautiful volumes are titled Handbuch der Literaturwissenschaft.  They are broken into alphabetical sections and the only one that I can read is labeled “Kappelmacher Schuster – Literatur der Romer B.Z. Karolingerzeit”

There are several modern editions with the same title, but they are comprised of fewer volumes, so I’m not sure they are the same book.  The most recent edition is a guide to literature;  however, the pretty books above appear older so they may not contain the same content.

Have you read any of these books or can you provide a better translation?

Enjoy,
