Nunc quarto ab ipso Authore recognitus, et plerisque in locis locupletatus, Lyon: sumptibus Joannis de Gabiano, 1602. Some of these dates may have been misrecorded (Faber [Stapulensis] is probably 1495, Iunctinus 1578, Ciotti 1591, Glogoviensis 1513), but allowing for this, there are seven editions mentioned that do not appear in the Fair Catalogues, of which six predate 1564, the year of the catalogue’s first appearance. This suggests how many editions could have been found in Frankfurt by an assiduous enquirer (as was Draudius). In broad terms, there are three possible relationships between publishers attending the Fair at this time: collaboration, peaceful coexistence, and competition. The advertisements listed above offer examples of all three relationships: (1) Collaboration could occur between publishers of different religious persuasions who allowed commercial considerations to override confessional allegiances. An advanced form of collaboration involved the sharing of an edition, which might also have entailed the sharing of typeface, etched plates or woodcuts (e.g., Ciotti and Basa 1601) (2) coexistence, as implied disingenuously in the Mareschal quotation given above, can be found in cases where different market zones were targeted (e.g., Cholinus and Ciotti 1601) (Clavius 1992, VI, letter no. 305), (3) competition in the same market zones, which applies to the rest.

I wonder,” remarks one narrator, late in the novel, as he considers the dying Von Neumann, “what we would have seen had we looked inside Von Neumann’s head.” We should not be left to wonder; it is to the novelist we look for insight. In offering too much to our attention, Labatut denies us the intimacy we seek. Ultimately, it’s a distance even talent cannot bridge. The scale of the climate and wildlife crises has been laid bare by two landmark reports from the world’s scientists. In October 2018, they said carbon emissions must halveby 2030 to avoid even greater risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people. In May 2019, global scientists said human society was in jeopardy from the accelerating annihilation of wildlife and destruction of the ecosystemsthat support all life on Earth.

The opening chapter of Benjamín Labatut’s second novel is such a perfect distillation of his technique that it could serve as a manifesto. One morning in 1933, Austrian physicist Paul Ehrenfest pays a visit to his disabled child, Vassily. Ehrenfest has enjoyed a dazzling career, but recently has been seized by despair. Nazism is the most urgent threat, but Ehrenfest is troubled too by a less tangible development: the quantum revolution, most notably the work of Hungarian wunderkind John von Neumann. Ehrenfest experiences this new theoretical direction as a kind of unravelling, a fog of “logical contradictions, uncertainties, and indeterminacies” he feels entirely unable to penetrate. Having moved his son to Amsterdam, Ehrenfest has shielded him from the horrors of the Nazi regime. What he cannot protect him from, though, is the quantum world to come – a world defined by “a profoundly inhuman form of intelligence … completely indifferent to mankind’s deepest needs”. Appalled by a future he regards as inevitable, Ehrenfest shoots his son, then himself. Maclean, Ian. 2009a. André Wechel at Frankfurt, 1572–1581.

Cannon fire from the micronation's "gunboat" (in reality, a small oar-powered dingy on the River Wye) marked the declaration of independence; a flag was unveiled in front of Hay Castle; and Booth was crowned "King of Hay" as the new national anthem was played.

Yet her worldview – expansive, tolerant of complexity, outward-looking – is watermarked throughout this collection. “It is the duty and privilege of the novelist to look both outward and inward, to the past and to the future, to the particular and the universal, to the parish and the world,” she wrote in No Passport Required, a piece from 2002 reflecting on our relationship with Europe with an optimism that seems now to belong to another age.
