Once Again: Paul Oskar Kristeller and Raymond Klibansky

John Monfasani
University at Albany, State University of New York, Department of History

This article is a coda to Paul Oskar Kristeller's criticism of the scholarly behavior of Raymond Klibansky (d. 2005) found in my 2015 article "Kristelleriana: Two Biographical Notes." In a letter of 24 February 1995 to the independent scholar W. Cameron McEwan, Kristeller (d. 1999) accused Klibansky of refusing to acknowledge Kristeller's discoveries concerning the Renaissance philosopher Nicholas of Cusa and explained how he had been warned against Klibansky by the distinguished contemporary scholars Ernst Cassirer, Erwin Panoksky, David Ross, and Richard Walser.
