Abstract

We owe to Philip Merlan some intriguing information about Franz Brentano's relations with Sigmund Freud.¹ So I venture to hope that he might also have been interested in an iconographic item about the personal relations between Franz Brentano and Edmund Husserl which until recently was believed to be totally lost. Its partial reconstruction may at the same time throw new light on their early philosophical connections.
