<p><em>‘Somit bleibt beim Rez. ein gemischtes Gefühl zurück; ein sehr interessanter und lobenswerter Ansatz, interessante Ergebnisse, aber in der vorliegenden Buchform leider nicht ideal umgesetzt. Dennoch finden sich zahlreiche gesammelte Informationen zum Thema Bogen & Co. im Band, die für sich genommen bereits Interessenten finden werden. Um die ganze Studie überblicken zu können, sei aber die originale Dissertation empfohlen.’ </em>[translated:<em> The reviewer is left with mixed feelings: a very interesting and commendable approach, interesting results, but unfortunately not ideally implemented in its current book form. Nevertheless, numerous collected pieces of information on the topic of bows & co. can be found in the volume, which will already attract interested readers in their own right. However, to gain a full overview of the study, the original dissertation is recommended.</em>]<strong> – Christian Meyer (2023):<em> GERMANIA 101</em></strong></p>
