The Uni Dia publisher based in Großhesselohe in Munich is a publishing project of Hermes Arzneimittel GmbH . The publisher aims to develop culturally important works of art. The focus is on ancient Egypt , ancient Greece , ancient Iran, Islamic art and prehistoric cave painting .
history
The publishing house was founded in 1958 by the Munich entrepreneur couple Albert Burges (1903–1974) his wife Maria Burges (1906–1989) as part of the Hermes Arzneimittel company and their daughter Lissy Burges (1937–1964).
In the same year, the photographic recording of ancient Egyptian monuments began. In the following years, with the collaboration of Bruno Sandkühler and Frank Teichmann, around 20,000 recordings of the most important works of art in Egypt itself and in the museums of Berlin ( Egyptian Museum ), Hildesheim ( Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum ), Munich ( Munich Antique Collections ), London ( British Museum ), Oxford ( Ashmolean Museum ), Paris ( Louvre ), Turin ( Museo Egizio ) and Cairo ( Egyptian Museum Cairo ).
With the unexpected death of Lissy Sandkühler-Burges in August 1964, all work was initially suspended. In 1970 Johannes Burges took over the management of Hermes Arzneimittel . In 2010, he arranged for the cataloged slide collections to be viewed and digitized .
technology
The pictures were mainly taken as Kodachrome - small pictures - slides , in special cases also in the 60 × 60 mm format , or in the Linhof ideal format 56 × 72 mm. They could be purchased as Kodachrome duplicates from universities, museums, schools or private individuals and were increasingly used in book publications, calendars and school series.
cooperation
The cooperation with the German Archaeological Institute and its director Hanns Stock (1957-1966) enabled the restoration of the German excavation house on the west bank of Luxor in 1958 and the procurement of a motor ship for work on the temples of Amada and Kalabsha in 1963 as part of the international campaign To save the Nubian monuments threatened by the construction of the Aswan Dam . In 1958 the German House in Thebes was returned to the DAI and repaired on behalf of Hanns Stock with a foundation of the Munich couple Albert and Maria Burges.
In cooperation with the Institute for Egyptology and Coptic Studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , the inventory of Egypt recordings is also accessible via the MUDIRA database.
Some of the recordings from ancient Egyptian graves are processed with scientific documentation and interactive functions by Thierry Benderitter in the Osirisnet.
Current
Since 2015, around 6,000 images of the catalogs "Ancient Egypt" and "Prehistoric Rock Art from France and Spain" have been freely available on the Internet and are free of charge for non-commercial use. The holdings "Greece", "Art of Islam" and Old Iran were digitized from the archive until 2019 and processed for online publication.
