In December 2022, I presented this paper at a conference in Brescia.
The journal that is publishing the proceedings is taking forever to actually get the issue out, but I recently found out that I'm allowed to release pre-print copies, so here it is! An appendix includes my complete Meyer Census.
The most up-to-date version of the translation can always be found on Wiktenauer, but that link is where the most recent PDF extract lives.
After four months of tweaking and poking and rewriting and reconsidering, I've completed another revision of my Zettel translation.
It's starting to sound pretty good now.
I've also expanded the footnotes in a lot of places, including adding more variant readings and more terminology discussion.
Holy crap, this one is beautiful.
I paid out the nose for this one, but I now have every painted Thibault print I can locate for sale, apart from a few that I passed by because they're duplicates and not better than what I have. Now we can plan the scanning.
We now have 30 Thibault prints to digitize for Wiktenauer!
If you or someone you know owns a painted Thibault page, HEMA Bookshelf has offered to pay for shipping to Massachusetts and back to get it digitized with the rest (and also provide advice about how to package it so that it travels safely).
