Jacob Burckhardt Werke Bd. 14: Die Kunst des Altertums

"FOR PASSIONATE READERS, EVERY CONNECTION WITH JACOB BURCKHARDT IS A JOY." JÜRGEN BUSCHE, SZIn his famous "Griechische Culturgeschichte", Jacob Burckhardt gave little space to ancient art, and in his "Cicerone" it plays only one role among many. The present volume therefore closes a serious gap. For the first time, Burckhardt's notes on his lectures on the "Art of Antiquity", which were written over several decades, are published here. This opens up access to a previously undocumented area of Burckhardt's work and thought.
The edition is edited by the Jacob Burckhardt-Stiftung, Basel, and published jointly by the publishers C.H.Beck, Munich, and Schwabe, Basel. It is distributed by the publishing house C.H.Beck.
