Nicoletta Misler is Professor in the Department of Eastern European Studies at the Istituto Universitario Orientale, Naples. Pavel Florensky was a true polymath: trained in mathematics and philosophy at Moscow University, he was also an expert linguist, scientist and art historian. A victim of the Soviet government's animosity towards religion, he was condemned to a Siberian labour camp in 1933 where he continued his work under increasingly difficult circumstances. He was executed in 1937. Wendy Salmond is Head of the Art History program at Chapman University, Orange, California. |
