The idea to found a journal on the works and research interests of who is writing a PhD thesis on Wind at the University of Kent. Starting an academic journal today is simultaneously a significant challenge and a very rewarding experience. Among the most important criteria, a journal has to meet international academic standards, organise an editorial board of specialists (in this case, we had to involve scholars who have worked on Wind or the Warburg circle), curate the website, and find contributors. We have gambling data japan already published two volumes, the first in October 2021 and the second in April 2022. We are now working on the third volume, which will be out in October 2022.

Wind played a critical role in the history of the Warburg Institute, inasmuch as he worked as a research assistant to Aby Warburg at the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg – Warburg’s private research library, which is dedicated to the study of the ‘afterlife of antiquity’ (Nachleben der Antike). For this reason and due to his affinity for Warburg’s way of thinking, Wind considered himself Warburg’s sole intellectual heir.
