The destruction of cultural heritage is no invention of the present age. Hermann Parzinger’s “Verdammt und Vernichtet” (‘Damned and
destroyed’), just published by C. H. Beck, fans out various examples from ancient times until present. The volume is both a historical survey and a plea for the protection of humankind’s cultural heritage.
CSMC is pleased to have assisted this publication with images from its project ‘Safeguarding the Manuscripts of Timbuktu’.
