In 2012, a manuscript by renowned art historian Erwin Panofsky was rediscovered in a safe in Munich, in the basement of what is now the Central Institute for Art History. Hidden for decades among folders and administrative files was Panofsky's thesis on Michelangelo--submitted to Hamburg University in 1920, abandoned when Panofsky fled Hitler's Germany in 1933, and thought to have been destroyed in the Allied bombings. Michelangelo's Design Principles makes this remarkable work available for the first time in English, a century after the original version was written. Casting Panofsky's thought in an entirely new light, Michelangelo's Design Principles is the legendary scholar's only book-length examination of the art of the Italian Renaissance. He provides a compelling analysis of Michelangelo's artistic style and deftly compares it with that of Raphael, situating both Renaissance masters in the broader context of Western art. This illuminating book offers unique perspectives on Panofsky's early intellectual development and the state of research on Michelangelo and the High Renaissance at a period of transition in art history, when formalist readings of artworks began to take precedence over a biographical approach.

Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art spans the period from the 10th to the 15th century, discussing the many "reanscences" that came before and led up to the Renaissance in the 14th century

In Studies in Iconology, the themes and concepts of Renaissance art are analysed and related to both classical and medieval tendencies.

Die wiederentdeckte Habilitation Erwin Panofskys 1920 reichte Erwin Panofsky, einer der einflussreichsten Kunsthistoriker des 20. Jahrhunderts, in Hamburg seine Habilitationsschrift zu Michelangelo ein. In den folgenden Jahren arbeitete Panofsky stetig an dem Manuskript weiter, doch veroffentlicht wurde es nie. Seit seiner Emigration 1934 galt es als verschollen. Nach seiner Wiederentdeckung im Zentralinstitut fur Kunstgeschichte in Munchen im Jahr 2012 wurde das Manuskript von Panofskys Witwe, der Kunsthistorikerin Gerda Panofsky, ediert. Die Habilitation Panofskys liegt nun erstmals in gedruckter Fassung vor, erganzt durch eine Einfuhrung der Herausgeberin und das Faksimile des kompletten, handschriftlich korrigierten und erganzten Manuskriptes.
