To the authors of "Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte"
The decision of whether or not a manuscript is printed is made by:
Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte
Kunsthistorisches Seminar der Universität Basel
Im Laurenz-Bau
St. Alban-Graben 8
CH-4051 Basel
Tel.: +41 (0)61 206 62 91

We publish in the following languages: German, English, French, and Italian. Manuscripts
must be submitted in one of these languages. The editors reserve the right to edit, abridge or reject any material.
The Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte only prints original contributions. This also excludes
translations of essays or partial pre-publications of books in preparations. In addition, the
editors expect that essays are being submitted manuscripts exclusively and are not being
sent other journals simultaneously.
Unsolicited manuscripts will be returned to the author only if the correct return postage has
been included with the manuscript.
1. Manuscripts
Submitted manuscripts must be typed (1,5 line spacing) on A4 pages; We request that you
submit two printouts of your manuscript together with a digital copy on floppy disk.
Manuscripts can be submitted either as hard copies or in a current digital file format. Hard
copies must be DIN A 4 or Letter paper format with 1,5 line spacing and printed on one side
only. There should be no more than 38 lines on a single page, with each line containing no
more than 62 characters. Please paginate consecutively.
A digital copy must accompany any hard copy, either as mailed-in CD-ROM or as an
attachment sent via e-mail (zsfkg-kunsthist@unibas.ch). Please ensure the digital text file will
not be write protected as we need to be able to edit your manuscript.
Please do not submit any paper print outs of images until we request you do so. Photocopies
or digital image files will suffice to give us an idea of the images you would like to see
reproduced in your article.
2. Floppy disks, CD-ROM, and E-mail:

costs of manually converting the file.

9. Figures:
We recommend that you provide photocopies only, when submitting the manuscript for
consideration. These must include all illustrations you wish to have published. For final
printing, we request perfectly reproducible camera-ready copies (black and white photos or,
in exceptional cases, slides) with the illustration number written on the back. Colour
illustrations should be sent only if requested by the editors and only in the form of
ektachromes.
The author is responsible for the costs of reproduction.
The illustrations must be numbered clearly on the back; the text must indicate corresponding
numbers wherever illustrations are referred to.
We would require separate lists of illustration headings and of references (indication of
sources). Illustration headings should be as short as possible using the following punctuation
and providing the following information:
artist (or school) - comma – title of work - full stop (if known: technique and date - full stop) -
location - comma – collection (no full stop at the end!)

Tod des Meleager (Ausschnitt). Paris, LouvreToilette der Venus. München, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen

On a separate sheet, please indicate the size in which you wish to have the illustrations printed
(1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1 page). The editors reserve the right to make changes if necessary.
Please do not forget to submit a separate manuscript with the figure sources.

"in" followed by a colon, the name of the journal, the volume, the year and finally the page
