description: Engramma 206 questions the yet to be resolved problem concerning the exposability of Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas. This issue is the result of reflections that Seminario Mnemosyne explored during the “Warburg Manebit!” exhibition, that took place in Februrary 2023 at the Università Iuav di Venezia. In the section Mnemosyne Esposta we publish an overview of two Italian exhibitions that focused on Warburg's Atlas: the first one is Mnemosyne Esposta: Venezia 24 e 27 febbraio 2023, on “Warburg Manebit!” (24 and 27 February, Tolentini, Università Iuav di Venezia) curated by Seminario Mnemosyne, which focuses on the Bilderatlas Panels 58 (Dürer), 70-74 (Rembrandt) and 55 (Manet). By focusing on Dürer, Rembrandt and Manet, “Warburg Manebit!”, of which we present a report, takes Warburg beyond his typical chronological and geographical boundaries. The exhibition redefines the conventional approach to the Mnemosyne Atlas: Instead of treating it as an artistic object, it presents the Atlas as a “machine à penser” a transformative intellectual tool. In the section Studiare Mnemosyne, a latere di “Warburg Manebit!”, we present four contributions stemming from the research and reflections developed in preparation for “Warburg Manebit!” exhibition and during its realisation. In L’epigrafe ΜΝΗΜΟΣΥΝΗ di Fritz Schumacher per la KBW Calandra di Roccolino illustrates the history of the inscription dedicated to the mythical personification of memory, ΜΝΗΜΟΣΥΝΗ, placed on the vestibule door of the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg in Hamburg. In Le alternative del Moderno, Raffaello e Manet, Filippo Perfetti and Giulia Zanon present their research on Mnemosyne Panel 55. Starting from Warburg’s texts, this essay aims to reconstruct the genealogy that, from the Roman sarcophagi representing the Judgement of Paris, leads to Manet’s Déjeuner sur l'herbe, passing through Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving Judgement of Paris from Raphael’s lost original. Through a comparative study of unpublished notes, lectures and Mnemosyne Panels 70-74, in Drammaturgia dell’azione sospesa. Trasformazioni della carica gestuale e riattivazione dell’Antico nelle Tavole su Rembrandt del Mnemosyne Atlas Lucamatteo Rossi reconstructs of the sense of Warburg’s latest studies on the migration of the Pathosformeln from Southern to Northern Europe, and on their weakening and reactivation processes in the context of seventeenth century Holland. The focus of Ilaria Grippa’s Nota sulla posizione di Melencolia I di Albrecht Dürer nelle diverse redazioni dell’Atlas Mnemosyne is on the typological arrangement of the work Melencolia I by Albrecht Dürer in the three drafts of Panel 58 of Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas. Following up, we publish a new edition of the Geburtstagsatlas für Max M. Warburg, (5 giugno 1937) the edition of the Mnemosyne Atlas by Ernst Gombrich, along with the edition we present the text and the first Italian translation of the introduction to Panels XX-XXVII, and text and translation on Panel XXIV of the Gombrich’s Atlas. Closing the section is an updated Index of materials published in Engramma on the Geburtstagsatlas für Max M. Warburg. An important italian exhibition is “Camere con vista. Aby Warburg e Firenze” (19 September / 10 December, Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence), curated by Uffizi Galleries and Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence along with the Warburg Institute of London, focusing on the relationship between Warburg and Florence, through the Florentine panels of his Atlas. We present it in the section Mnemosyne Esposta: Firenze 19 settembre / 10 dicembre 2023, where we publish three interviews with the co-curators of “Camere con vista”: one with Gerhard Wolf, director of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz one with Marzia Faietti, one with Claudia Wedepohl, director of the Warburg Institute Archive. Along with the interviews, Giovanna Targia in Bildkritik a Firenze. Note su alcuni dei temi affrontati da Camere con vista presents a personal path through the Uffizi exhibition that she co-curated. The last section, Presentazioni, reports on the newest editorial outcomes from Warburgian studies. Ada Naval presents the volume published by Siruela, Aby Warburg y el pensamiento vivo, the Spanish edition of Monica Centanni’s Aby Warburg e il pensiero vivente (Aby Warburg and living thought). It shows an excerpt from the book Studies on Aby Warburg, Fritz Saxl and Gertrud Bing by Dorothea McEwan, former Warburg Institute Archive director, published in 2023 by Routledge, in its series Variorum Collected Studies. We also present the Introduction from the book by Dorothee Gelhard, Tanz. Vaclav Nijinsky und Aby Warburg, published by Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Berlin. Il Rinascimento italiano. Civiltà e arte di Jacob Burckhardt is the complete edition of Jacob Burckhardt, edited by Maurizio Ghelardi for Einaudi in its series i millenni: the summary and an extract from the volume are here published.
