Kedar, Ilana Friedrich Silber and Adam Klin-Oron, wasrecently published by the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute (2017). Eisenstadt was a close collaborator of the Swedish Collegium and also a close colleague and friend of SCAS Principal Bjèorn Wittrock. Eisenstadt, who sadly passed away in September 2010 at the age of 87, and Wittrock worked together on e.g. multiple modernities and the Axial Age, and Eisenstadt's work has inspired and influenced the scholarly profile of the Collegium.
