V ESTNIK OF THE M AR I ST AT E UN I V E R S IT Y 157 CHAPTER “HISTORY. LAW”. 2019, VOL. 5, NO. 2 УДК 930(092) DOI: 10.30914/2411-3522-2019-5-2-157-165 WILHELM KUBITSCHEK – AN AUSTRIAN SCHOLAR OF CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY T. Klokner Danubius College, Janko Jesensky Faculty of Law, Slovakia The paper provides a brief biography of the Austrian professor Wilhelm Kubitschek (1858–1936), whose scientific interests in the field of ancient history were extremely diverse. Most of his work was devoted to the field of numismatics, though he also dealt in studies of ancient chronology, geography, economic history and Greek and Roman epigraphy. He is, therefore, rightly considered to be one of the last Austrian polymaths. He left a strong imprint in the studies of antiquity which we should not forget about even more than 80 years after his death. Keywords: Wilhelm Kubitschek, ancient numismatics, Austrian scholars, antiquity. ВИЛЬГЕЛЬМ КУБИЧЕК – АВСТРИЙСКИЙ УЧЕНЫЙ АНТИЧНОГО МИРА Т. Клокнер Колледж Данубиус, Юридический факультет им. Янко Есенского, Словацкая Республика В статье приводится краткая биография австрийского профессора Вильгельма Кубичека (1858–1936), научные интересы которого в области древней истории были чрезвычайно разнообразны. Большая часть его работ была посвящена нумизматике, хотя он также занимался исследованиями древней хронологии, географии, экономической истории и греческой и римской эпиграфики. Поэтому он по праву считается одним из последних австрийских ученых-универсалов, а его значительный вклад в исследование антич- ного мира представляет научную ценность и через 80 лет после его смерти. Ключевые слова: Вильгельм Кубичек, древняя нумизматика, австрийские ученые, античность.

    A Century of Cataloguing of Illuminated Manuscripts in Vienna

    OTTO PÄCHT-ARCHIV ARCHIV PROJEKTE FÖRDERER TEAM MATERIALIEN * A Century of Cataloguing Illuminated Manuscripts in Vienna Martin ROLAND Historical Background and Library History With reference to historical holdings in general and manuscripts in particular, the Austrian National Library is one of the world’s leading libraries. The importance of these treasures does not correspond with the 80,000 km² of territory of a republic created by the treaty of Saint Germain in 1919. After World War I the inhabitants neither considered themselves Austrians nor had they a unifying culture. Instead, they regarded themselves, on the one hand, as part of the German- speaking culture, and, on the other, as Styrians, Tyroleans, Carinthians etc. Each of these crown lands (“Kronländer”) had strong historical roots of identification reaching back to the middle ages. Additionally there was a supranational identification which centred on the tradition of the Habsburg monarchy intensively connected with Vienna as residential city. This function as the centre of a monarchic empire is the basis of the library and its treasures. As a princely library some of its holdings go back to the 14th century property of the Austrian dukes, who were Habsburgs since 1282. The first milestone towards a collection was due to Frederick III (1415–1493), who merged his own holdings with those of his Luxemburg predecessors as king and emperor (Wenceslaus and Sigismund). A library with librarians and indexing began to evolve in the second half of the 16th century. The holdings of the princely library were limited to high-end volumes (in terms of artistic decoration) and – due to the influence of humanism – to works of philological and historical interest.

The primary aim of the series is to disseminate basic research (editing and analysis of primary materials both textual and physical), data-heavy re- search, and highly specialized research of the kind that is either hard to place with the leading publishers in Classics or extremely expensive for libraries and individuals when produced by a leading academic publisher. In addition to promoting archaeological publications, papyrologi- cal and epigraphic studies, technical textual studies, and the like, the series will also produce selected titles of a more general profile.

    Alexander Conze, on the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture Held on July 30, 1896 [In the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] Translated and Edited by Karl Johns

    Alexander Conze, On the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture held on July 30, 1896 [in the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] translated and edited by Karl Johns Editor’s introduction: Alexander Conze: The Bureaucrat and Art- Historiography Like a number of his colleagues, Alexander Conze (Hanover December 10, 1831- Berlin July 19, 1914), came to classical archaeology after first studying law. His interests and gifts seem to have tended more toward curatorial and administrative work rather than lecturing, and he will be primarily remembered for his part in bringing the Pergamon Altar to the Berlin museums. It may therefore seem ironic that he nevertheless had a great influence as a teacher and probably the greatest influence in another field, which was only later to be defined and brought to fruition in academia by his students as ‘the history of art.’ For the purposes of art historiography it is therefore significant that after nearly ten years at Halle as Extraordinarius, he was called to the University of Vienna as Ordinarius, taught from 1869 to 1877, where Franz Wickhoff, Alois Riegl, Emanuel Löwy and Julius Schlosser, among others, were influenced by his teachings. In the lectures given by Conze to the Prussian academy later in his career, it is not difficult to recognize a similarity to Schlosser in the binocular attraction of more abstract questions on the one hand and the aesthetic appeal of the individual object on the other. Conze also anticipated and presumably inspired the later studies made by Ernst Garger on the ground in relief sculpture and the historical place of the Monument of the Julii.

The Monument Question in Late Habsburg Austria A Critical Introduction to Max Dvořák’s Denkmalpflege Jonathan Blower Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2012 Abstract The present thesis is a critical introduction to a body of writings on heritage conservation by the Czech-born art historian Max Dvořák (1874–1921). From 1905 onwards, Dvořák was both professor of art history at the University of Vienna and Conservator General at the state institution responsible for heritage conservation in Austria: the ‘Royal and Imperial Central Commission for the Research and Preservation of Artistic and Historical Monuments’ (est. 1850). His published and archival texts on the subject are presented here for the first time in English translation. In this sense, the thesis follows the model of existing scholarship on the visual arts in Vienna around 1900, namely the combined English translations and critical introductions to the writings of Camillo Sitte (Collins & Collins, 1986), Otto Wagner (Mallgrave, 1988) and Alois Riegl (Forster & Ghirardo, 1982).
