Anna Głowa, "An unknown collector of Late Antique textiles from Egypt: Carl Kallenberg (1825–1900) and his‘Koptische Stoffreste’," Journal of the History of Collections 36, no. 2 (July 2024).

The purpose of this paper is to present an outline sketch of Carl Kallenberg, a little-known nineteenth-century collector of antiquities, and the circumstances of his purchase of Late Antique textiles from Egypt, and to summarize the further history of this ensemble. Calling on an essay published in 1890 by Kallenberg in Der Sammler and on an unpublished notebook of the antiquary and collector Robert Forrer, the paper examines the potential of these sources to complement our knowledge of the beginnings of interest in Late Antique textiles from Egypt, traces the provenance of Kallenberg’s specimens in early collections and assesses their possible whereabouts today.
