Prof. German Erd, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Stams in Tirol, visited the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies. The very reason for his visit was a talk given by Florian Schaffenrath at the ‚Lange Nacht der Forschung‘ about a collection of Latin epigrams from Stams, written ca in the middle of the 17th century by a Cistercian monk.
