Connaisseur

The gallery of Prince Valsavoja contains about 100 pictures several of which deserve the attention of the artist and connaisseur.

They pass their Sundays agreeably, in complete repose: seated outside their doors, dressed in the best clothes, and displaying, with serene satisfaction, the many rings, pendants, and huge earrings of rare beauty, inherited for many past generations, and which possess an individual character that the connaisseur at once recognises.

The support of Mr. Albert Igoin, a Spinoza reader and connaisseur of long date, is particularly appreciated.

But it needed a connaisseur of Roman law, namely Wolfgang Ernst, Bonn/Cambridge, to remind me that justum facere is the common root of Recht-Fertigung and justification.
