Summary/Abstract: In the 1970s, the Belgrade publishing house Srpska Književna Zadruga published The Theory of the Beautiful in Antiquity by Ernesto Grassi, an expert on antiquity, a Nazi and the founder, under Hitler’s patronage, of the Institute for the Humanities in Berlin in 1942. SKZ paid for the royalties, translation and publishing of an average work, instead of reprinting Anica Savić Rebac’s Ancient Aesthetics and the Science of Literature, an original work of exceptional epistemological value, with new knowledge and incomparably greater international significance than Grassi’s. At the same time, the copyrights belonged to the University Library, and thus to the people. From this illustrative instance, I develop the fate of the reception of a great scholar’s position in a small patriarchal space.
