| Description |
|
| This two-volume art history textbook, used by Max Stern during his university studies, was rebound with interleaved graph paper (making it into four volumes), thus allowing Stern to take notes on lectures and his readings beside the corresponding pages in the text. The half-title of v.1 bears Stern's signature, and his home address in Düsseldorf, Königsallee 23. The notes, handwritten in Old German script, are accompanied by drawings and sketches of the works of art and architecture. In v. 2 opposite the text on p. 219 about early Christian church architecture and the basilica, his notes on style (lower half of the handwritten page) note the name of Clemen, his professor and later dissertation supervisor, and the subject Orient and Rome. This is probably the title of Paul Clemen's lecture. It is also close to Orient or Rome, the title of an important book by Josef Strzygowski, who was one of his professors in Vienna (his name, misspelled, and those of "Montsignore" Wilpert, Wulff, Hugo Graf are above). Unlike other scholars at the time who found Roman sources for early Christian art, Strzygowski advanced Near Eastern ones (see also the transcription with translation and notes).
