Avramescu Catalin - An Intellectual History of Cannibalism

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Work on this book began at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (Edinburgh). Professor Peter Jones, the Director of the Institute, was a gracious host, and I have warm memories of my colleagues there. Since then, I have been a visiting fellow and pursued my research on this project in the following departments and institutions: the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library/UCLA Center for Seventeenth & Eighteenth Century Studies, the Department of Social and Moral Philosophy at the University of Helsinki, the Sigurdur Nordal Institute (Reykjavik), the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Science (Wassenaar), the Herzog August Bibliothek (Wolfenbttel), the Institut fr Geschichte (Vienna University), and the Facolt di Lettere e Filosofia (University of Ferrara). I also had the privilege of working in the national libraries of Austria, Finland, Iceland, and Scotland, as well as in the university libraries of Leiden, Trent, and UCLA. I hereby thank them all, as I thank many others not named here, while adding that none of these institutions or persons is responsible for any errors in the present work.

I am grateful for financial assistance during these years from the Mellon Foundation, the Lise Meitner fellowship program of Austria, and the Marie Curie fellowship program of the European Union.

A special word of gratitude is due to Professor Gabriel Liiceanu, the editor of the first, Romanian edition of this book, and to Alistair Ian Blyth, the translator who struggled with my prose. The work of translation was supported by a subvention from the Romanian Cultural Institute. New research for this revised English version was facilitated by a fellowship at the New Europe College/Institute for Advanced Study (Bucharest) and sustained by the Rector, Professor Andrei Plesu.

I owe a different order of thanks to my wife, Adina, to whom I should dedicate so much more than this book.
