In this page, we present the original German text with a traslation into Italian of Gombrich's Zur Mnemosyne, introduction to the Geburtstagsatlas, curated by Seminario Mnemosyne, which highlights their different ways of thinking, and elements for a first attempt to compare Warburg's methodology with Gombrich's.This translation is the result of a collective work by Seminario Mnemosyne, at Scuola Normale Superiore in Palazzo di Cortona (June 2017), and at the Warburg-Haus in Hamburg (November 2017)
