| Contents | reports on the visit of Dr. Alfred Giesecke, of B.G.Teubner, in KBW on 17/03/1925; Warburg had a good impression of Giesecke; they treated two questions: Franz Boll's literary estate and publications of KBW; on [Franz] Boll's third edition of 'Sternglaube und Sterndeutung', to be edited by Wilhelm Gundel; on the question of fee for Gundel, for the widow of [Carl] Bezold and royalties to go to Georg Boll; on the typesetting; on publishing Boll's Ptolemy research, mentions Herbig; on the KBW publications; is not wholly convinced that Giesecke is wholeheartedly behind the overall research topic of KBW, the survival of classical antiquity; relates an anecdote of Warburg's mother [Charlotte Warburg] , when visiting the old publisher Campe [Julius Campe jun.], of Hoffmann und Campe, in Hamburg; discussion on production price, additional funding from KBW, advertising; on restricting author corrections, as they make the whole printing process very expensive, quotes the [Robert] Eisler book; Warburg promised 'draconic' rules in future; Giesecke had not decided on publishing [O.] Plasberg's Cicero research; Warburg tried to make it clear to him that such a book is better published by Teubner than published by KBW; Warburg showed him the statistics of growth of KBW; explained to him the essence of Boll's 'Sphaera', the first collection of documents in word and image for a 'critique of pure Un-reason' [Kritik der reinen Unvernunft], a phenomenal collection of material on the history and psychology of the orientation of the mind; [Alfred] Giesecke listened with interest; Warburg hopes that Giesecke will come again to KBW |
