Acknowledgements
I did not think, when I started writing this book, that I would need the advice of so many experts and friends. This is then the place to thank those who helped me complete my work by sharing with me their time and knowledge. I am grateful to Ursula Vogt for her invaluable help in transcribing Meinongâs manuscripts, written in old German cursive script (Kurrentschrift); Claudia Pandolfi for her unfailing assistance in dealing with Latin and other texts; Fabio Frosini for his constant willingness to discuss with me every issue large or small; Davide Del Forno for his extremely careful revision of the text; Tommaso di Carpegna Falconieri for his advice about medieval literature on Arnold of Brescia; Ulf Höfer for providing me with information on a variety of topics and securing a number of letters related to Meinong from the Forschungsstelle für Ãsterreichische Philosophie; Michaela Scheibl for assisting me in consulting Meinongâs Nachlass; the Universitätsbibliothek Graz for permission to publish the images contained in this book. Finally, I would like to thank the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici at the Università degli Studi di Urbino Carlo Bo for its generous contribution to the publication of this volume. It goes without saying that any errors are solely my responsibility.
