Hello All,
Does anyone have, or know someone who has, or is near a library that has a copy of the book Der Vollkommene Teutsche Jäger by Johan von Flemming?
I need to find a reference in it to a certain dog breed. I want to quote the actual text and not just copy what others have written about it (I suspect they've made a mistake or two) but I cannot afford to purchase the book.
The original was written about 1720 and the few copies that are for sale in antique shops in Europe are generally around 5000 - 8000 Euros
But it was reprinted in 1971. Those copies sell for around 300 Euros..and may be found in a local library in Germany or elsewhere. I may have to bite the bullet and buy a copy, but I really only need to quote a few lines (although it sure would look nice in my library....hmmm).
Let me know if you have any leads,
Thanks!
