Below you will find a complete list of both paper and digital resources used in my articles.
As this is a light blog rather than a scientific publication, I don’t cite or reference works directly within the texts. Instead, this page gathers every source I’ve ever drawn from – whether in the form of books, library archives, museum displays, or digital materials.
You may assume that these sources have been used throughout the blog – sometimes to shape several articles, sometimes just one.
