The Introduction to a volume of this kind should above all he short. If the
scholar honoured needs a long introduction to the readers, then the volume
ought not to have been published. Victor Ehrenberg certainly does not need one.
Like a great Latin poet, he might claim to have three souls: a German and
an English one, representing the two languages in which he writes with equal
ease, and a Classical one, providing the content of ~is work . .Nor have they
been kept in artificial isolation. The study of ideas, their history and their
importance, which we may safely call the German ingredient, has been
blended with English attention to concrete fact; and it is all pervaded by that
humanitas-a human sympathy polished and re.fined by education-that
(alas) was not, on the whole, characteristic of antiquity, hut that has become
the tradition of the best of those who study it.
How much specialists have profited by Ehrenberg' s works will he clear from
this volume itself: there are few contributors wlw have not found occasion to
refer to the stimulus received from Neugrunder des Staates, Alexander
and the Greeks, or the volumes on Classical Athens. That this interest in
his work is not corifi,ned to specialists is clear from the translations and paper
back editions listed in the Bibliography. The contributors to this volume
therefore speak for a very large public in expressing the hope, on Victor
Ehrenherg's 75th birthday, that he will have many years yet in which to
instruct and delight us with his writings.
