Abstract

V originále

In 2021, still with overflowing energy, Herbert Kessler is turning eighty years young. It was clear that an issue of Convivium had to be dedicated to him, and it had to be a special issue while being consistent with the journal he helped to initiate. Ivan Foletti, familiar to readers as Convivium’s Editor-in-chief and a frequent contributor, and Philippe Cordez, who is new to these pages but no less important as a mutual colleague and friend, joined forces to design a question. It had to be Kesslerian enough for the occasion, and thus connected to current interests in our fields. Given the importance of Kessler’s writings in today’s medieval art history, we did not need to think for too long. As a result, the following papers, even if not a Festschrift, constitute a birthday feast. Besides the texts submitted through the journal’s double-blind procedure (their authors, of course, were eventually informed), the last part of the volume “About Herbert Leon Kessler” presents aspects of his intellectual life and the list of his publications.
