Case report

Catechism of Monument Preservation; Max Dvořák

Zlatko Jurić

Abstract

M. Špikić continues his critical translation work of the seminal texts on conservation and restoration written in Europe in the 19th and 20th century. The books Anatomy of a Historic Monument and Camilo Boito Monument as a Book were followed by the second completed edition Catechism of Monument Preservation written by M. Dvořák, translated and published in the 1988 thematic issue of the Split-based review ”Pogledi”. Špikić as editor of the second edition supplemented it with encyclopaedic texts, notes and an extensive bibliography. The second edition published in Zagreb contains for the first time the original photographs with critical comments. The text was reviewed by the professor J. Mirenić Bačić who translated it thirty years ago. In his introductory text ”Conservation and the last days” Špikić brilliantly synthesized the debates and events going on in the conservation field in the German-speaking countries at the beginning of the 20th century.
