"It is a real honor to follow in the footsteps of Fabrizio Govi as Secretary of the Breslauer Prize. Interest in the Prize has increased dramatically and the Jury that has been together over the past six years is very excited by the number and quality of the bibliographical works that have been submitted." (Daniel De Simone, December 2022)
