In little more than a hundred pages, Humanities. Notes for An Institutional History introduces us to a thousand-year journey along which this historian-author stops at the moments or milestones he has considered key to draw attention to the "link between the Humanities, the institutional projects in which they developed and the political meaning of such projects". This title inaugurates the Mihi quaestio factus sum series, dedicated to disseminate, in a bilingual format, works of the humanistic and philosophical tradition of the Western world that both propose and discuss the very idea of legacy creation and transfer.
