Double-weighted statement
I started working on this in 2003, and it took me 8 years to complete. At 580 pages it is the longest monograph I have produced. The research covering works from Antiquity to the present involved the use of rare books in collections from Madrid to Potsdam and from the Bodleian to Munich. The works were mostly in other, and obsolescent, languages requiring special language skills. My book was simultaneously published in German, with considerable additional work: to satisfy scholarly requirements, I had to find German versions of all sources, which meant chasing more rare books.
