On Sunday, 31st May 1964, the drizzly skies over Stuttgart reflected the conditions typical of early summer in the German city.

The date marks several significant moments in history. In 1890, the Ulm Minster was completed in Germany, becoming the world's tallest church building at that time. More recently, in 1981, an organised mob of police and government-sponsored Sinhalese paramilitary forces began three days of attacks in Sri Lanka that resulted in the burning of the Jaffna Library, a cultural loss that reverberated through the region's collective memory.
The historical record extends further back to 1468, when Cardinal Bessarion announced his donation of 746 Greek and Latin codices to the Republic of Venice, an act that established the foundation of the Biblioteca Marciana and preserved invaluable manuscripts for subsequent generations. These varied events underscore the significance this calendar date has held across centuries and continents.
