NEW BOOK: PRO RE. FESTSCHRIFT FOR BERNHARD PROKISCH

The Austrian Research Society for Numismatics and the Society for Regional Studies and Monument Preservation of Upper Austria have joined forces to dedicate this Festschrift to Dr. Bernhard Prokisch on the occasion of his retirement. The title reflects one of the fundamental tenets of his professional and academic life—always PRO RE (always for the cause). The numerous and diverse contributions document his scholarly interests and work.

Teachers, companions, colleagues and students of the honoree gathered for the presentation and acknowledged Bernhard Prokisch's extensive work.

The book is now available from the Austrian Research Society for Numismatics.
