Professor J B Trapp is a distinguished authority on the Renaissance and the Classical tradition, and the author of Erasmus, Coletand More: The Early Tudor Humanists and their Books (1991). He succeeded Professor Gombrich as Director of the Warburg Institute and Professor of the History of the Classical Tradition at the University of London - posts that he held until his retirement in 1990.

"Gombrich has done more than any other human being to draw people towards an enlightened understanding of art... Wearing his immense learning lightly, tackling abstract ideas without losing his readers in jargon, he has attracted a devoted following."—The Sunday Times
