It’s September again, and the annual congress of the Association internationale de bibliophile (A.I.B.) will be held in Copenhagen 7-14 September. I am looking forward to the gathering, in particular the chance to see the Arnamagnæan manuscripts at the university of Copenhagen. And the surprises to be encountered in a city I’ve never before visited.
