“I sing about his reading: interactive and dialogic. He read by writing and wrote by reading.”

“If there were captions explaining their history next to these dedications they would be proof of the richness of relationships in Panikkar’s life and of how my collection came from many directions. In order to sing my glories, I will select names of several famous authors who gave their books with dedications to Panikkar and to me: Francesco Alberoni, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Bettina Baümer, Massimo Cacciari, Enrico Castelli, Emil Cioran, Victoria Cirlot, Oscar Cullman, Jacques Albert Cuttat, Henri e Lubac, Mircea Eliade, Jean Guitton, Alois Maria Haas, Martin Heidegger, Johannes Kakichi Kadowaki, Károly Kerényi, Ursula King, Serge Latouche, Javier Meloni, Salvador Pániker, Octavio Paz, Emanuele Severino, Raniero La Valle, Amador Vega, Uma Marina Vesci,”

“Nevertheless, I like to quote one of Seneca’s affirmations: «It’s not important how many books it has, but rather, how many of them are good», for instance, in this case numbers are not everything and I remember that Panikkar himself used to say: «The importance of a text rests not in what it says, but mainly in what each person reads there and in the overall interpretation that each era has given to it».”
