This is a compilation of articles assembled and published to honor the 65th birthday of Hugo Schneider. Authors include Claude Blair, AVB Norman, Bruno Thomas, Lionello Boccia, and Ewart Oakeshott; all authors write in their native language, making this a multi-lingual publication. Oakeshott's article on the Castillion find, showing all the swords of the find together and comparing them to other surviving swords, is a gem. This book is somewhat hard to find, but is an interesting collector's piece with nice, well-illustrated articles.
