Under the Volcano. Warburg’s Legacy
Under the Volcano. Warburg’s Legacy, explores the enduring influence of Aby Warburg’s ideas, likening his intellectual legacy to volcanic activity–continually shaping the landscape of cultural history. If Warburg “was a volcano”, this issue is structured around the metaphorical fissures and lava flows, and is divided into four sections: Unpublished, Rediscovery, Readings, Presentation.
191 | Aby Warburg: His Aims and Methods
In this issue of Engramma: Giulia Zanon’s Zooming Mnemosyne deals with the use of details in Warburg’s Bilderatlas, Monica Centanni’s Collateral effects of the “visibile parlare” (Dante, Pg. X, v. 95) reconstructs the hypothesis of a visual model for the legend of Trajan’s Justice, according to Warburg intuition about it; this contribution is connected of the paper by Filippo Perfetti’s Dante, Botticelli, and Trajan. An Open Note where the author investigates how Botticelli could have come to know that the bas-relief of the Arch of Constantine liberatori urbis was related to an episode in Trajan's life”. The focus of this issue is then extended to Warburg's cultural environme...

Warburg and Living Thought
Aby Warburg, the founder of a new Science of Culture, the scholar who gave back word to the image; a “militant” intellectual (so wrote Gertrud Bing), for whom no distinction exists between life and thought; pioneer of new research methods, inventing ‘machines’ of knowledge; architect of spaces designed as arenas of thought. The Library for the Science of Culture (transferred from Hamburg to London in 1933) and the Mnemosyne Atlas are the achievements to which the most substantial part of his heritage is linked. The ten essays here collected for the first time, all stemming from the Italian cultural milieu, trace with clarity Warburg’s “living thought”. Giorgio Pasquali, Mario P...
Bibliography. Works by Aby Warburg and secondary Literature
This Bibliography is a selected compilation of the main editions of Aby M. Warburg’s works, essays and critical materials. It is the result of a stratified work started in 2004, which had involved several members of the Seminario Mnemosyne. We invite scholars and readers to send suggestions for the inclusion of further bibliographic entries to the Editorial board of Engramma.

Testori. Scrittura e figura
The first meeting between La Rivista di Engramma and Giovanni Testori focuses on two typical themes for the journal: writing and figure. Testori. Scrittura e figura is Engramma's portrait dedicated to Testori 100 years after his birth and 30 years after his death. It takes as its reference Willy Varlin's portrait of Testori chosen as the issue's cover. The issue includes a first part centred on Testori's writing: Chiara Pianca in “Quasi fudesse ecce homo de paese” writes an in-depth and detailed essay on the complex drafting of Ambleto. Alongside this, Luca D'Onghia in his article Lettera luterana su Edipus gives a possible identification of the “scarrozzante” king of Thebes. The rem...
