1977BBL1380Wiesbaden:: Steiner 1977. 1977. 8vo. 456 pp. Printed wrappers. Burndy bookplate. Very good. Rare. ISBN: 3515026835 "Willy Hartner was a German scientist and polymath. He studied at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main where he obtained his PhD in physics in 1928 and where he later served as professor from 1940 as ordinary professor German academic terminology from 1946." Wikip. "Willy Hartner's work is characterized by its great range both linguistic and cultural. He would frequently take what seemed at first sight to be a small and isolated fact but by turning it over long and carefully in his mind analysing it from many points of view and blending in a little judicious speculation--some of his critics would say 'injudicious' - he revealed hidden and unexpected links with the help of which it might be explained. An excellent example of this style of argument is to be found in his book on the golden horns of Gallehus. In this last connection it is worth remarking that he gave regular courses on Old Norse literature at Frankfurt and that indeed he was elected a fellow of the Royal Danish Academy. This was one of many honours which fell to him before his death--another was membership of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. He was twice president of the International Academy of the History of Science." see: J.D. North Obit. Annals of Science 1982 39:2 pp. 115-116. Steiner, 1977. unknown books
