Salve,
some links sharing today -

first, I would like to share with you a link to youtube videos on  wheelock  reconstruction and functioning

Secondly, my most favourite art museum in the world, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York City, made available for download many of its fine books, really great publications to read or just to look at the art. I have many of these books in my own library.
