The present volume dedicated to Arnold Esch on the occasion of his 65th birthday and retirement from the post of Director of the German Historical Institute in Rome by friends, colleagues and former students from many different countries centres around topics of significance both to the dedicatee himself and the research fields that have benefited from his work: the historian and the present, Rome and the Popes, art and artists, traditions and texts casting light on life and individual destinies on both sides of the Alps. The purview of Arnold Eschs research concerns has always been broad and this is reflected in the range of subjects addressed here: from the Middle Ages to the present, lives and posterities, art and history, economics and archeology. Common to all is the concern with Italys place within Europe, with emphasis on the concrete and the graphic and the broad perspective, in the way that Esch himself has always preferred. The works in which he has demonstrated this predilection are listed in the catalogue of his writings.

Der vorliegende Band, den Freunde, Schüler, Kollegen aus vielen Ländern Arnold Esch, dem scheidenden Direktor des Deutschen Historischen Instituts in Rom zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet haben, behandelt Themen, die ihm und der Forschung wichtig waren und sind: Der Historiker und die Gegenwart, Rom und die Päpste, Kunst und Künstler, Menschen und Schicksale, diesseits und jenseits der Alpen gezeigt an Überlieferungen und Texten. Arnold Eschs Blick reicht weit und deshalb wird auch hier weit geschaut: vom Frühmittelalter bis zur Gegenwart, auf Leben und Nachleben, Kunst und Geschichte, Wirtschaft und Archäologie. Stets aber geht es um Italien in Europa, konkret und anschaulich und nach dem Ganzen zielend, so wie er selber es liebt. Die Werke, in denen er dies gezeigt hat, nennt das beigegebene Schriftenverzeichnis. Books<
