"In the academic year 2008-9 a group of Arnaldo Momigliano's disciples decided to celebrate the centenary of his birth. We wanted to do so by replicating as closely as possible the great series of seminars held by him at the Warburg Institute on an almost annual basis from 1967 to 1983....Our aim in these seminars is therefore to reflect on all the different areas he opened up for us, and to ask how far his influence still determines the future of our various special areas....But this was also a meeting of old friends returning to their roots in the Warburg to reflect on their debt to a master who created the world that they inhabit....The format was some forty minutes for presentation with discussion, the first group of speakers in the morning, the second group after lunch on two separate Saturdays in February and May."--Preface, p. xi-xii.
