Ernst Kantorowicz on Methods and Postage Stamps
The TORCH Crisis, Extremes, and Apocalypse network are hosting a talk on ‘‘Ernst Kantorowicz on Methods and Postage Stamps’. The talk will treat two unpublished sources: Kantorowicz’s notes for his “Methods” course for graduate students at Berkeley, 1948-1950, and his paper, “Postal Stamps and the Historian.” The notes give new insights into the nearly inebriating range of thought of a great historian and polymath; the paper displays the great historian at work in an unsuspected direction.

Professor Lerner will also be discussing his recent biography of Ernst Kantorowicz.
