Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Otto Pächt came to England already formed as an art historian of the Vienna school. His natural orbit was the Warburg Institute, but with the outbreak of war he moved to Oxford and began to catalogue the illuminated manuscripts in the Bodleian Library. The catalogue was destined to have a major impact on the field; but by the time it was published Pächt had taken up the chair of art history in Vienna, one of the few refugee scholars to have returned to live and work in his native country.
