Re: LeLv 26
Thanks for the info, Pilot. I have seen the original 1991? edition of the book and it seemed very interesting but I have been too lazy to try to find a copy of it but I just asked from Jyrki T from where I can buy a copy if the price is right.
Martti, I’d not call, at least the original version of, Bruun’s book a “nollatutkimus”. It has many docus reproduced in it. Have a reproduction of a document is even better than to have a proper note to say from where one can find the document. Of course the best solution is to have both the reproduction and an accurate note.
In general it usually helps if a writer has some historical education but in the end it’s up to the writer, university professors had wrote BS, even those from my old alma mater, University of Helsinki, and sometimes writers without any formal historical education wrote good histories. After all history isn’t black magic, if one has good brains, critical mindset and ability to see causalities and ask right questions he should be able to write at least passable unit history.
