Aus einem Bericht über eine von der British Library veranstaltete Konferenz nächsten Monat, der sich mit Buchdiebstählen wie z.B. in der Girolamini-Bibliothek befasst:
"Jutta von Falkenhausen, a German lawyer representing the Swedish library, said that the antiquarian trade – particularly auction houses in Germany, where a peculiar legal situation enables [them] to transfer valid title to stolen goods” – are “not asking enough questions” when offered rare items."
