NOTES FROM E-SYLUM READERS: JUNE 15, 2014 Another Donna Leon Fan
Count me in as another Donna Leon fan. (Also a sucker for Venice - it must be the traffic...) To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see: BOOK REVIEW: BY ITS COVER (www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v17n23a09.html) The Free City of Danzig I wrote that last week's Features Coin Page showed images of coins of "the free state of Danzig." Chip Howell writes: I suppose in some sense it WAS a "state" but I believe the actual translation from German is "Free CITY of Danzig" - but don't take MY word for it... Chip included a link to a Wikipedia on the Free City of Danzig: Free City of Danzig (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_City_of_Danzig) While "stadt" SOUNDS like "state", it MEANS "city". I know that much from High School German class. Sorry I messed it up. To read the earlier E-Sylum article, see: FEATURED WEB PAGE: FREIE STADT DANZIG COINS (www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v17n24a28.html)
