| Contents | thanks for mail and enclosure by Alice Berendt [recte: Alice Berend]; sends greetings to Mrs. Berend; is pleased that Mary understands his wish for a slow leisurely trip through Italy; has expected her to react in such a way; the stay in Rimini was not wasted, the director of the library in Cesena, [Alfredo] Vantadori, asked Augusto Campana to help Warburg; through his and [Francesco] Vatielli's help he found that the teacher of Gafurius was Bonadies, also known as Godendag, and that another musicologist has lived in Bonzio near Rimini at the end of the 15th century; thanks Frede for a letter; cannot understand that Hasshagen [recte: Justus Hashagen] has not yet selected topics for seminars; asks Frede to invite him to KBW, for a conducted tour; welcomes it that Frede wants to read Hegel, as advised by Peter [Peter Paul Braden]; confesses that he is a Hegelian, remembers talking about Hegel when 14 or 15 years of age, with Paul Ruben; mockingly on [Miss] Dühren who has started to give her opinions on horses; he is still waiting for a letter from Max Adolph Warburg, has tried to ring him from Venice; Warburg encloses a letter by Mrs. Pomarici, does not know what to do with it, does not want to promise regular payments for the future; nevertheless he is sorry for him that [Mario] Pomarici's friendship for Germany has not been honoured duly; writes about the chemist Del Piano as a Postscript: his uncle, a priest called [Luigi] Nardi, has published a book about Tempio Malatestiano; Del Piano has developed a theory that all different religions are, hermetically seen, equal; mentions Macrobius, Saturnalia, Jupiter Heliopolitanus, Baalbek, Mercury, the symbol of the ferryman in his boat in the region called 'Generations'; the expression has been used by [Edouard] Schuré, which reminded Warburg of the tarot cardgame going back to Eliphas Levi [pseudonym for Alphons Louis Constant]; in the tarot cardgame one third of the furthest sphere of the world is called 'Generations'; this might pave the way for Warburg to find the place from which the pseudo-hermetic trends flowed into the culture of the early Renaissance; asks her to order a photograph to be made of a schema of spheres in [Vincenzo] Cartari's 'Le imagini de gli dei de gli antichi' |
