Aby Warburg : Bilderreihen und Ausstellungen

Among the great desiderata of art and cultural historians with an interest in historiography is to have a complete edition of the writings of the Hamburg scholar Aby Warburg (1866-1929), founder of the short-lived but immensely influential Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg, the holdings of which were removed to England in 1933.

Warburg's name lives on in countless research projects worldwide. The aim of the Studienausgabe or study edition of Warburg's writings is to provide scholars with the comprehensive historical documentation which has been lacking for so long.

Each of its volumes includes a commentary offering an introductory characterization of the material as well as a brief explanation of text form and material content of the original sources.
