Anzeiger für Kunde der deutschen Vorzeit, 27. Band, 1880 Organ des Germanischen Museums

This volume offers a faithfully reproduced selection of scholarly contributions first published in 1880 by the Germanic Museum’s organ. The editors have preserved the original spelling quirks and typographic marks, clarifying only obvious errors while retaining historic forms such as the long s and period‑specific abbreviations. Introductory notes guide listeners through the transcription choices, making the text accessible without erasing its nineteenth‑century character.

The essays span a broad spectrum of early Germanic studies. Readers will hear investigations into folk superstitions, archival records from Eger, and the correspondence of the reformer Johannes Aurifaber. Other pieces explore castle architecture in Kassel, medieval burial customs, the evolution of weaponry, and household interiors illustrated with period drawings. Each article reflects the expertise of contributors from universities and museums across Germany, Austria, Bohemia and beyond.

For anyone interested in the development of historical scholarship, this compilation provides a vivid snapshot of 19th‑century academic discourse, enriched by primary source excerpts and detailed commentary that bring the Germanic past to life.
