The institute maintains a library of books, materials, and copies of manuscripts related to the study of Vico and the philosophy and history of culture. The Vico Library and Institute, located in Bowden Hall, is open for use by graduate students and faculty on a daily basis during the academic year. Professor Verene is co-editor of New Vico Studies , an international annual which publishes articles, notes, and book reviews relating to the thought of Vico. It is published by the Institute for Vico Studies in conjunction with Humanities Press. The purpose of New Vico Studies is to reflect the current state of the study of the thought of Vico, which is understood to include not only the study of Vico's works and the tradition of Italian humanism, but discussions of conceptions of society, culture, history, language, and myth that relate Vico's thought to contemporary questions.
Contributors are scholars in the social sciences, humanities, history of science, and jurisprudence.
