An open early modern printed book held at an angle, showing a Latin dissertation title page from Uppsala. A hand points to the printed name “PETRI EKERMAN,” highlighting the author attribution. In the background rare books in shelves.
Petrus Ekerman (1697–1783) pushed the #Uppsala system to its limits – writing ~600 master’s dissertations for pay. Ready-made theses, sold to students. The profits even built Ekerman’s House in Uppsala. 📚💸
