October 2011 marked the beginning of a two-year project to prepare the edition of volume 3.1 of Aby Warburg’s “Gesammelte Schriften, Studienausgabe” (Collected Writings) entitled “Kleine Schriften und Vorträge” (Essays and Lectures). The project, supported by the Thyssen Foundation, will be led by editors Dr Claudia Wedepohl, the Warburg Institute’s archivist, and Professor Michael Diers of the Institut für Kunst- und Bildgeschichte of the Humboldt Universität, Berlin, with Dr Eckart Marchand as academic assistant based at the Warburg Institute. The volume will contain more than 30 texts previously unpublished in the original German by Aby Warburg, and will thus for the first time reflect the broadness of his scholarship.
