Abstract: First published in Vienna in 1924, Julius Schlosser’s Die Kunstliteratur – or, The Literature of Art – is considered one of the most influential volumes published by scholars associated with the School of Vienna. Groundbreaking in its fusion of Philosophy and Philology in the critical analysis of written sources pertaining to the vast field of art, the volume offers an unparalleled archive of sources to orient art historians, as well as critics and scholars in their investigations on the complex, variable, ever-changing interactions between art production and dissemination of ideas over time and across different cultural settings. After one hundred years since the publication of this monument of scholarship, Karl Johns has undertaken – a long-awaited and well-conducted – translation of this seminal book. This critical note provides a meta-comment on previous reviews devoted to Schlosser’s scholarly enterprise, focusing on the chain of continuity that informs this particular branch of Art Historiography, examining relevant aspects of the English translation.
