Pegasus - Berliner Beiträge zum Nachleben der Antike

by census — last modified 2010-03-11 15:06

Census’ multilingual periodical Pegasus is published annually. It provides a discussion forum for all disciplines involved in the research of traditions evolving from antiquity. In contrast to the Census database it is not restricted to a certain epoch and provides viewpoints from all post-antique periods.

Aside of studies covered a broad spectrum of traditions stemming from the reception of antiquity, the periodical also presents the results produced by directly working with the Census database. In this way Pegasus reveals how the presence of antique imagery is still very much alive today, even though it is filtered through the eyes of earlier epochs.

From 2010 on the volumes of Pegasus issued at least five years ago will be available as PDF on the edoc-server of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
The table of contents of each volume on this website (see below) gives you direct access to the single contributions of each volume.

The first three volumes deal with the various aspects of the reception of the Antique from the Romanesque period up to the 20th century. The basis of the individual studies is, for the most part, their connection to the work of the Census.

Volume 4, however, puts the focus of the discussion on the concerns of the Census itself. The aim is to demonstrate how research based on the work with the data base can be done. The issue is not intended to be a manual but, in contrast to a guide for the use of the data base, an illustration of its potential in regard to content.

Volume 5, entitled „Antike, Kunst und das Machbare. Früher Eisenkunstguß aus Lauchhammer“, concentrates on casts after antique models that have been produced in the former Saxon town Lauchhammer (Lusatia) since the end of the 18th century. It constitutes at the same time the companion volume for the homonymous exhibition at the collection of antique casts in Berlin.

In volume 6 and 7 the articles in Pegasus resume a thematically free structure and chronologically incorporate Antiquity through to the 20th century.

Volume 8 gathers contributions of art historians and archaeologists which deal with topics ranging from the Renaissance to the 19th century. For the first time, the so-called Codex Stosch with architectural drawings of Giovanni Battista da Sangallo is shown completely and in colour.

Volume 9 does not only comprise articles within the scope of art history and archaeolgy but also within the history of sciences and philology, dealing with topics ranging from the Renaissance to the 19th century.

For the 10th anniversary of the Pegasus the staff of the project and its long time fellow Henning Wrede contributed articles dealing with topics ranging from antiquity up to the present day of the Census database.
