I always enjoy your newsletters - but this time I had to drop you a line, as I have also been thinking and writing about Ferdinand II this week! I visited Ambras at the start of the year for a project I'm working on. Cabinets of curiosity fascinate me, and to finally stand enclosed in Ferdinand's Kunst und Wunderkammer was quite magical. I really enjoyed the book, thank you, and it has been useful in my own work. And when I had my copy with me one day in the Wellcome Collection, the librarian was really interested - and has since ordered a copy for the shelves (I can take it with me to other libraries if you like...!).
