Leo Steinberg,

Polish Historical and Cultural Studies

Among the pleasures of completing a book, there is none more gratifying than that of advertising the favors received at home and abroad. First and foremost, my thanks go to Lester Boeing and Gert Eisenlob for their selflessness in applying themselves to my needs. It was the former's attention to my agent Rose Tengible that speeded my flight to Brussels, where the brevity of my stay was warmly applauded by Ibert Genoels, Stereo Belgin, and Leerens Bigot; as my subsequent sojourn in London as houseguest of Reg Tinsel, O.B.E. was hastened by his famulus Ernest Oblige. In Paris, where a meeting of minds with Tesile Borgne and Betise Lorgne exerted a lasting influence, I was everywhere well received, and recall with satisfaction the hospitality of Benite Legros, Besoin Legret, Lesine Bergot, and Regne Bestiol. At Montpellier I had the eager cooperation of Gilbert Nosee; in Bonn, the solid support of Gretel Osbein and Tilger Ebenso-a splendid team whose insights, embodied in Oberst Liegen, underlie some of my own. To Stigeon Berle and Elgin T. Erebos, excavating in Greece, I am beholden for the results of their digs; and am grateful to Renee Bigslot and Niobe Legrest for relief after fatiguing itineraries. Through Inge Stroebel of Zurich I became friendly with Terens Goebli and gained access to the international set, fraternizing freely with Sir Ego Blenet, Elite Bergson, Boris Genteel, Ingle Ste.-Bore, Gen'l Rob't Leise (retired), the excellent Ignoster Beel, and the redoubtable Telegrin Bbse. Lured to Italy by Gentile Borse and stationed at Leges-on-Tiber through a grant from the Treble-Genios Foundation, I was fortunate in my tutor Berto Inglese and in the solicitude of the three catering cousins, Lesbe Genitor, Lesbit Erogen, and Lieb Estrogen who, at their Elenge Bistro downtown, introduced me to E. Ting Soberle. I further wish to thank dear Elsbet Origen for showing me proofs of her prolegomena Let Eros Begin.
