²⁸ Although most of Schliemann's incoming correspondence has now been separated out of the volumes into which Schliemann glued it, I estimate that this, together with all other volumes in the Gennadeion, can be traced back to a total of c. 172 volumes. As Meyer's count in 1938 showed c. 175 volumes there is some confirmation of my calculation that Meyer must have removed about three volumes.
