Cover illustration: Allegory of Fame (Lat. Fama) on the West side of the Golden Gate in Gdańsk, copperplate by Jeremias Falck (c.1609–1677), from Civitatis Gedanensis Porta lapidea (1649), by kind permission of The National Museum of Warsaw, Department of Prints and Drawings. This is one of the eight sculptures of civic virtues by Peter Ringering (1620–1650). The Latin inscription on the Gate reads: Concordia res publicæ parvæ crescunt – discordia magnæ concidunt (In agreement small republics grow, because of disagreement great republics fall).
