Hi,
I have a copyright question. I published an article in “Glossen 25” in 2007.
“Westdeutsche Familiengeschichte. Gerhard Henschels Romane”.
Do I need Glossen’s permission to republish it elsewhere and giving credit to “Glossen” for the original publication?
Please advise.
Best,

Dear Prof. Menke,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the late reply. Due to the summer break, I did not see your request in time. Of course, we give you permission to re-publish your text, assuming you will give “Glossen” credit for the original publication, just like you described.
We thank you very much for contacting us and wish you all the best for this publication.
Warm regards,
Janine Ludwig
