Today I added the 400th book to my library! OK, just to the virtual catalogue of my real library, which still contains roughly half a bookshelf of uncatalogued books… But I just found the number 400 to be so nice. The new acquisition is a facsimile of the 1750 first edition of Lessing’s Beyträge zur Historie und Aufnahme des Theaters (“Articles on the history and reception of theatre”), Germany’s first theatre periodical.
