- Additional information
- This volume was co-edited by three authors. It contains a single-authored chapter by the attributed individual ('Father of the whole human race', 16 pp), a jointly written introductory essay ('Cosmopolitan politics', 28 pp) and nine other chapters that were commissioned and edited jointly.
The volume originated in a joint application to the Thyssen foundation which elicited a €7,000 grant which funded a three-day symposium in Heidelberg in summer 2013. The editors selected seven of twelve contributions to develop further. Five others were omitted because they would have diluted the geographic, chronological and thematic focus of the volume. They also commissioned two additional chapters to address gaps in the initial line-up.
The three editors then met again in Cambridge and then Istanbul in 2014 and Paris in 2015 (the latter funded by the University of Chicago) to bring the project to fruition.
The introductory essay is the joint work of the three co-editors, co-written over the three periods of face-to face collaboration. All editors contributed equally.
The organisation of the conference that launched the project, the commissioning of chapters and the work to steer initial drafts towards their final form was also done jointly, with all three co-editors working on all papers and contributing equally.
The final work proofreading etc. was distributed, with each editor taking responsibility for two chapters other than their own. The editors jointly agreed the structure of the index, and then distributed the work of compiling it equally.
