Römisches Jahrbuch der Bibliotheca Hertziana

The Römisches Jahrbuch der Bibliotheca Hertziana is a scholarly art-history yearbook published by the Bibliotheca Hertziana in Rome. Founded in 1937, it is one of the established German-language periodicals for art historians, with a focus on Italian art from antiquity to the Baroque. The first two volumes appeared under the title Kunstgeschichtliches Jahrbuch der Bibliotheca Hertziana; subsequent volumes were published as Römisches Jahrbuch für Kunstgeschichte until 1988, after which the current title was adopted. The yearbook is printed by Hirmer Verlag. Its editorial direction was long associated with Julian Kliemann, who served as responsible editor until early 2015, when Susanne Kubersky-Piredda took over the editorship. The publication is closely tied to the research mission of the Bibliotheca Hertziana, a Max Planck Institute for Art History, and serves as a venue for peer-reviewed scholarship on Italian art and architecture.
