THEORY & PRACTICE OF GOLDS.

The Theory & Practice of Goldsmithing
(Prof. Dr. Erhard Brepohl)

Englische Ausgabe von "Theorie und Praxis des Goldschmieds"

After early training in his father's workshop, Erhard Brepohl studied at the College of Applied Arts in Leipzig where in 1953 he received his Masters level status. He went on to take additional degrees in mechanical engineering and industrial design and taught for many years at the College of Applied Arts in Heiligendamm. Combining his love of history with the knowledge of goldsmithing, Dr.Brepohl translated the famous 12th century manuscript of Theopilus Presbyter, a task that required him to first learn Latin. The results of his scholarship were published as a book in 1987; this served as his dissertation and earned him the title of Doctor of Philosophy.
