uwmspeccoll: riesenfeldcenter:Must sort the heads using the special sieve…A wonderfully strange title page from Caroli Ferdinandi Hommelli Litteratura Iuris. Last week, the Riesenfeld Research Center at the University of Minnesota Law School posted this wonderful engraving of human heads being sorted through a sieve from the title page of the 1779 second edition of German legal scholar Karl Ferdinand Hommel’s bibliographical guide to law literature. We imagine that this is a metaphor for the necessity of sifting through the lesser writings in order to present the golden nuggets legal literature. More importantly, now we have a new addition to our severed heads collection of Tumblr posts. Thanks @riesenfeldcenter!View our collection of Tumblr Severed Heads! -- source link
