Posthumt arbejde af den belgiske videnskabsmand H. Pirenne 1939 (her i 2. engelske udgave 1954) giver ifølge "The Spectator" en "ny og afgørende forklaring på Europas udvikling fra Konstantin den Store ca. 300 til Karl den Store 800 - Folkevandringernes invasioner ødelagde ikke den gamle Verdens enhed og Romerrigets kultur og det var Islams opkomst der var årsagen til bruddet med den antikke tradition - udviklingens klimax var da Karl den Store gav Vesten et nyt Romerrige 800 - beviset på at Vesten havde brudt med det gamle Romerrige i Byzans."

Brahms, his life and work by Karl Geiringer( Book )

16 editions published between 1936 and 1974 in English and German and held by 808 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Karl Geiringer's biography of Brahms is generally regarded as the finest study of the composer ever published in any language. It is based upon the great body of material in the archives of the Viennese Society of Friends, for which Dr. Geiringer was curator from 1930-1938, and which contains more than a thousand letters written by and to Brahms. These letters, exchanged with family and with his famous contemporaries, reveal his loneliness, grim humor, loyalty, painful shyness, and enthusiasm for the music of Beethoven and Schubert--moods that the self-effacing composer did not publicly display. Divided into sections on Brahms's solitary, scholarly existence and his fruitful composing career--including examinations of rare first drafts--the biography relates how crises in Brahms's personal life were translated into his music, and how he often managed to ignore or suppress them. -- Google Books (review written for later edition)

Fabre; poet of science by Georges Victor Legros( )

5 editions published between 1913 and 2002 in English and held by 427 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

HERE I offer to the public the life of Jean-Henri Fabre; at once an admiring commentary upon his work and an act of pious homage, such as ought to be offered, while he lives, to the great naturalist who is evento-day so little known. Hitherto it was not easy to speak of Henri Fabre with exactitude. An enemy to all advertisement, he has so discreetly held himself withdrawn that one might almost say that he has encouraged, by his silence, many doubtful or unfounded rumours, which in course of time would become even more incorrect. For example, although quite recently his material situation was presented in the gloomiest of lights, while it had really for some time ceased to be precarious, it is nome the less true that during his whole life he has had to labour prodigiously in order to earn a little money to feed and rear his family, to the great detriment of his scientific inquiries; and we cannot but regret that he was not freed from all material cares at least twenty years earlier than was the case
