| Contents | thanks him for a letter; if it had been possible, he would have rushed to Dwelshauvers in a balloon; he reads a certain 'tristesse florentine' between his lines; the archive in Florence has the atmosphere of Hades; on Warburg's research, he is getting nearer to understanding one person, Savonarola; only if one understands Tornabuoni, one can understand Savonarola and the Protestant North provides the necessary background; likens Savonarola to a 'haruspex', a man who practices divination by inspection of entrails; has Dwelshauvers read [Wilhelm] Uhde's book 'Savonarola'?; calls it 'the most brutal desecration of a corpse'; one can detect [Arthur de] Gobineau's influence; thanks him for a note re Ceri, [Louis] Courajod; hopes that Dwelshauvers will like Warburg's article on Lorenzo 'Flandrische und florentinische Kunst im Kreise des Lorenzo Medici um 1480']; he would be grateful if Dwelshauvers could review Warburg's article in a Belgian journal; requests [Aug.] Vermeylen's address; gives him names and addresses of bookbinders in Florence; hopes to be in Florence for the autumn; sends greetings to his wife Clara and Lorenzo Pacifico [Dwelshauvers's son] |
