Thanks to all for the very positive feedback.

This gives me a lot of motivation for more topics and I have a lot of things to show.


Best wishes,

For those looking for this publication:
Original copies of both volumes are usually quite expensive. Roland's scans here are of very good quality - gleaning more from the book without being well-versed in German may proove difficult.


For those who would like an affordable working copy, there are facsimile reprints available: Literaricon Verlag has both volumes (reprint 2015) and there are at least 2 other publishers also offering volume 2 (reprint 2013 and 2014). I can't vouch for the printing quality though.

I don't want to post any commercial links; if you have problems finding these online, just drop me a line...


I have only found the second volume online (Gayo), scanned from a recent facsimile reprint:

Here is a link to the first volume (Batak) which only offers snippets though:
