The Warburg Institute Research Fellowships, 1996-97
The Warburg Institute
The Warburg Institute is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the
classical tradition - in the sense of those elements in European thought,
art and institutions that have evolved out of the cultures of the ancient
world. Its Library and Photographic Collection are designed and arranged
to encourage research into the processes by which one culture learns from
another and by which different fields of thought and art act on each
other. They are particularly concerned with continuities between the
ancient Mediterranean civilizations and the cultural and intellectual
history of post-classical Europe, especially in the period to c. 1800.
Research Fellowships
The following Fellowships in intellectual and cultural history will be
tenable at the Warburg Institute in the 1996-97 session.
Brian Hewson Crawford Fellowship: A Research Fellowship has been endowed
from the estate of, and in memory of, Dr Brian Hewson Crawford, who
graduated from the University of London in 1926. A short-term Fellowship
is available for the study of any aspect of the classical tradition.
Under the terms of the deed, the Fellowship is open to European scholars
other than of British nationality.
Henri Frankfort Fellowship: Mrs Enriqueta Frankfort has endowed a
Research Fellowship in memory of her husband Henri Frankfort, who was
Director of the Institute from 1949 to 1954. The Fellowship, which is
short-term, may be held in any of the areas in which Professor Frankfort
made his distinguished contributions to scholarship: the intellectual
and cultural history of the ancient Near and Middle East, with particular
reference to society, art architecture, religion, philosophy and science;
the relations between the cultures of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Aegean,
and their influence on later civilizations. The Fellowship is not
intended to support archaeological excavation.
Frances A. Yates Fellowships: Dame Frances Yates, who died on 29
September 1981, generously bequeathed her residuary estate to found a
research Fellowship or Fellowships in her name at the Institute.
Fellows' interests may lie in any aspect of cultural and intellectual
history but, other things being equal, preference will be given to those
whose work is concerned with those areas of the medieval and Renaissance
encyclopedia of knowledge to which Dame Frances herself made such
distinguished contributions. A long-term Fellowship (up to three years)
is offered in some years but is not available for 1996-97. Approximately
8 short-term Fellowships are available.
NORD/LB Warburg-Wolfenbuttel Fellowship: The Norddeutsche Landesbank has
funded a four-month Research Fellowship tenable for two months at the
Institute and two months at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbuttel for
research into the cultural and intellectual history of early modern
Europe. [Conditions, value of award and method of application for this

Subject: NORD/LB WARBURG-WOLFENBUTTEL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 1996-97
The Norddeutsche Landesbank has generously funded a four-month Research
Fellowship to enable a younger scholar to spend two months at the Warburg
Institute, University of London, and two months at the Herzog August
Bibliothek Wolfenbuttel, pursuing research into the cultural and
intellectual history of early modern Europe.
The Warburg Institute
The Warburg Institute is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the
classical tradition - in the sense of those elements in European thought,
art and institutions that have evolved out of the cultures of the ancient
world. Its Library and Photographic Collection are designed and arranged
to encourage research into the processes whereby one culture learns from
another, and different fields of thought and art act on one another.
They are particularly concerned with continuities between the ancient
Mediterranean civilizations and the cultural and intellectual history of
post-classical Europe, especially in the period to c. 1800.
The Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbuttel
Over the past twenty years the Herzog August Bibliothek, with its rich
historic book and manuscript holdings, has developed into an independent
research institute combining the traditional role of a library with that
of a humanities research centre concentrating on European cultural
history of the early modern period. The Library takes its name from Duke
August the Younger (1579-1666), whose collection of 135,000 imprints was
one of the largest libraries of his day. It now also houses the
collections of the Helmstedt University Library as well as all those
books and manuscripts acquired for the collections since the death of
Duke August in 1666. The Herzog August Bibliothek has recently been
designated the national repository for 17th-century imprints in a scheme
to establish a decentralized national library of German texts 1450-1912.
The Library offers a broad range of research facilities within its own
interdisciplinary fellowship programme, runs summer schools, and
organizes conferences and workshops.
Eligibility
The Fellowship is intended for younger scholars, who should have
completed at least two years' research towards a doctorate. Those
employed at Professor, Lecturer or equivalent in a university of learned
institution may normally hold an award only if they are taking unpaid

The Fellowship lasts four months, two of which must be spent in each

as well as living and other incidental expenses, will be 5,000 pounds
(approx. DM 11,500). Applicants domiciled in the UK will be liable for
National Insurance costs on the English portion of the award. No
additional funds are available.
Tenure
The Fellowship may be held for any four consecutive months during the
year beginning 30 September 1996. Fellows must spend at least 6 weeks of
their two months in London during University term-time; term dates for
1996-97 will be 30 September-6 December 995; 6 January-14 March and 21
