Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld inhabits the rarefied world of the Institute of Romance Philology at Regensburg, a world he shares with his equally tall and equally ridiculous colleagues, Professors Prinzel and Unterholzer.

Their unlikely adventures are described three volumes by Alexander McCall Smith with illustrations by Iain McIntosh: Portuguese Irregular Verbs, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances.
