Our foremost thanks go to those numerous authors and copyright‐holders who have permitted us to reproduce the texts here included and to edit them as required for the present anthology. We are also indebted to the translators and editors of previous anthologies and other publications who have made material available to us. They have all helped us to realize our intention of providing as comprehensive a collection as possible of this most complex and diverse of subjects.

In the long task of tracing and compiling material we have benefitted from the advice and assistance of friends and colleagues in The Open University and elsewhere. In the present Open University Art History Department we would particularly like to thank Emma Barker, Warren Carter, Amy Charlesworth, Kathleen Christian, Leah Clark and Renate Dohmen. (A selection of relevant publications from the department has been added as a supplement to the bibliography.) The efforts of the Document Delivery Team at the Open University Library have also been crucial.

We would like to extend special thanks to the four readers who commented and made additional suggestions for inclusion in our proposed table of contents: Michael Corris, Alex Potts, Tilo Reifenstein and Ann Stephen. We would also like to thank Michael Baldwin, Peter Berry, Richard Brown, Tom Crow, Steve Edwards, Briony Fer, Suman Gupta, Therese Hadchity, David Johnson, Donna Loftus, Robin Mackie, Siobhan McDermott, Andrew McNamara, Josh Milani, Ann Miles, Giulia Paoletti, Gill Perry, Mel Ramsden and Kim Woods.

Translations from non‐English sources have been made by Emma Barker and Encarna Trinidad Barrantes, Kathleen Christian, Hugo Miguel Crespo, Richard Dixon, Richard Elliott and Giuliana Paganucci. Chris Miller has been exceptionally helpful in his responses to last‐minute calls for translations from the French.

Among others without whose efforts this book would have been impossible to make are the many members of the production team at Wiley Blackwell in the UK and SPi in India. Jayne Fargnoli never let the project die, even during the long hiatus in its making. Rebecca Harkin was instrumental in reviving the proposal after its hibernation. The book in its actual form could not have been realized without the prolonged and conscientious efforts of Tom Bates, Juliet Booker, Simon Eckley, Dhivya Kannan, Catriona King, Jake Opie, Sundar Parkkavan and Liz Wingett. Diana Newall undertook the online searching of historical sources in the early stages. Andrew McNamara’s assistance in Australia helped enormously. Alex Potts has been supportive throughout in a host of different ways, ranging from the sourcing of texts to critical reading of editorial materials. Felicity Marsh steered the book through the long and complex process of its production during the difficult, demanding circumstances of 2020. Roberta Wood prepared the manuscript and formed a crucial link between the editors and the publisher; Art in Theory: The West in the World would not have been possible without her work.
