Reviews
The heterogeneous collection of this volume conveys a good impression of the broad spectrum of the conference. The community of scholars directly building upon Littmann’s work a century after his lifetime is impressive. The diversity of the contributions and their languages allows readers to imagine themselves vividly into the conference and its time. Readers might have expected to find in the preface an explanation for the underrepresentation of female contributors. The generic masculine forms used in many of the contributions might also infelicitously deflect the readers’ attention from their contents.
Dorothea Reule in Aethiopica, 24/2021, 273-275
