30/05/23 From the staff of McGill Library Rare Books and Special Collections:

Conference participants to “The Reception of German Mysticism in Early Modern England“, sponsored by the The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Platonism and the McGill School of Religious Studies Pavillon Birks, McGill University , 24—26 May 2023, received a guided visit of The Raymond Klibansky Collection, which holds a number of 17th-c. editions of Jacob Boehme and Valentin Weigel, among others.

The Klibansky Collection is also featured, along with several other McGill RBSC items, in the virtual exhibition “Amor Mi Mosse Che Mi Fa Parlare” created to celebrate Dante’s 700th anniversary in 2021. The exhibition brought together works from libraries in Montreal (McGill University, l’Université de Montréal, and Concordia University) with the Biblioteca Nazionale «Vittorio Emanuele II» of Naples, and the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale and Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana of Florence. Among the books from the Klibansky Collection that formed part of the team’s study, shown in the exhibition is a diagram of “The Tenth Heaven – The Spaceless Empyrean – or Paradise” from a relatively recent volume, a 1900 Dent edition of Edmund G. Gardner’s, Dante, with title page designed by Reginald L. Knowles (Raymond Klibansky Collection, PQ 4335 G3 1900).

[02/05/23] From “La lettre d’information des Archives Poincaré (novembre 2022)” online:

“Du côté des projets: Les archives de l’Institut International de Philosophie sont conservées depuis quelques années à Nancy, confiées à notre laboratoire. Gerhard Heinzmann a présenté, lors de l’assemblée générale de l’IIP en octobre, à Bonn, un projet de recherche intitulé “Scientific and patrimonial valorization of the archive of the IIP”, qu’il co-dirigera avec Pascal Engel (Paris) et Jure Zovko (Zadar). Ce projet vise à étudier les efforts réalisés dans les années 1930 et après la seconde guerre mondiale pour internationaliser la philosophie, et abordera donc des questions liées à la circulation et à la communication de la connaissance philosophique, mais aussi à l’histoire de l’influence des philosophes sur la politique internationale en matière de science. Il possédera également un versant d’humanités numériques, sur lequel Pierre Willaime sera impliqué.”
