Horst SeidlerSapientia aedificabitur domus etprudentia robor abiturProverbia SALOMONI; Capitulum XXIVColl. Antropol. 28 Suppl. 2 (2004) 1PrefaceAnthropology is the body of knowledge which looksat the physio-biological fundamentals of mankind aswell as its special position within Nature. For the lastfew decades the Institute for Anthropology at the Uni-versity of Vienna, founded in 1919, has been insepa-rably linked with the person of Horst Seidler. It isessentially on the basis of his scientific work that an-thropology has evolved into a modern field of scienceencompassing a host of attractive research branches.This special edition is a shining example of HorstSeidler's prolific and dynamic work, and thus high-lights his 60th birthday in an appropriate and apprecia-tive way. The diversity of his work gives ample proof ofhis scientific interests. Moreover, it bears witness ofHorst Seidler as a highly committed university teacherwho is apt and successful at passing on his ideas and principles of research to theup-and-coming generations of scientists.He is also a capable and wise ally when it comes to improving the quality of our uni-versities, which can stand up to international standards thanks to the courage and in-novative spirit of the likes of Horst Seidler. Furthermore, he is a scientist who makeshis research findings available to the general public so that social development can di-rectly and rapidly benefit from scientific innovation.May the gift of rich scientific insight stay with Horst Seidler, and may he be blessedwith personal vigour and deep satisfaction with his scientific achievements for manyyears to come.Elisabeth GehrerAustrian Minister for Education,Science and Culture1
