Festschrift
In academia, a Festschrift ((:ˈfɛstʃrɪft); plural, ''Festschriften'' ) is a book honoring a respected person, especially an academic, and presented during his or her lifetime. The term, borrowed from German, could be translated as ''celebration publication'' or ''celebratory (piece of) writing'' (literally 'party-writing'; cognate with 'feast-script'). A comparable book presented posthumously is called a Gedenkschrift (''memorial publication''). Sometimes, the Latin term ''liber amicorum'' (literally: “book of friends”) is used for a Festschrift. The German word ''Festschrift'' has been incorporated into the English language.
==Background==
A Festschrift contains original contributions by the honored academic's close colleagues, often including his or her former doctoral students. It is typically published on the occasion of the honoree's retirement, sixtieth or sixty-fifth birthday, or other notable career anniversary. A Festschrift can be anything from a slim volume to a work in several volumes. ''Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt'', for example, began in 1972 as a Festschrift to commemorate the 75th birthday of Joseph Vogt, a German classical historian. Four volumes were planned, but it has since reached 89 volumes (including several which were planned for the next years, but put on hold in 1998). The essays usually relate in some way to, or reflect upon, the honoree's contributions to their scholarly field, but can include important original research by the authors. Many Festschriften also feature a ''tabula gratulatoria'', an extended list of academic colleagues and friends who send their best wishes to the honoree.
In the case of very prominent academics, several Festschriften might be prepared by various groups of students and colleagues, particularly if the scholar made significant contributions to several different fields.
In Germany it is an honor to be designated to prepare such a collection, and being selected by a prominent academic to edit a Festschrift can symbolize the proverbial passing of the torch.
Endel Tulving, a Canadian neuroscientist, proposed that "a Festschrift frequently enough also serves as a convenient place in which those who are invited to contribute find a permanent resting place for their otherwise unpublishable or at least difficult-to-publish papers."
The word has become widely used internationally. Since no English term for such a book had been in use, the German word ''Festschrift'' has been incorporated into the English language and typically is used without the italics that designate a foreign term, although the capitalization of the first letter is usually retained from German. Its plural may be either the original "Festschriften" or anglicized as "Festschrifts". Festschriften are often titled something like ''Essays in Honour of...'' or ''Essays Presented to...''
A Festschrift compiled and published by electronic means on the internet is called a Webfestschrift (pronounced either or ), a term coined by the editors of the late Boris Marshak's Webfestschrift, ''Eran ud Aneran'',〔
