    The paper under review deals with the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for the minimal graph equation \[ \text{div}\dfrac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}}=0 \] over a Cartan-Hadamard manifold \(M\) of dimension \(n\geq2.\) It is supposed that the radial sectional curvatures of \(M\) outside a compact set satisfy the upper bound \[ K(P)\leq - \dfrac{\phi(\phi-1)}{r(x)^2} \] and the pointwise pinching condition \[ |K(P)|\leq C_K|K(P')|, \] with constants \(\phi>1\) and \(C_K>1,\) and where \(P\) and \(P'\) are any two-dimensional subspaces of \(T_xM\) containing the (radial) vector \(\nabla r(x)\) with \(r(x)=d(O,x)\) being the distance to a fixed point \(O\in M.\) The authors prove unique solvability of the asymptotic Dirichlet problem with any boundary data \(f\in C(\partial_\infty M)\) for dimensions \(n>4/\phi+1.\)
