Felix Gilbert

Felix Gilbert (May 21, 1905-February 14, 1991) was a German-born American historian of early modern and modern Europe. Gilbert was born in Baden-Baden, Germany to a middle class Jewish family. In the later half of the 1920s, Gilbert studied under Friedrich Meinecke at the University of Berlin [Thompson, Bruce "Gilbert, Felix" pages 465-466 from "The Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing", Volume 1, edited by Kelly Boyd, London: Fitzroy Dearborn Publishing, 1999 page 111] . Gilbert's area of expertise was the Renaissance, especially the diplomatic history of the period [Thompson, Bruce "Gilbert, Felix" pages 465-466 from "The Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing", Volume 1, edited by Kelly Boyd, London: Fitzroy Dearborn Publishing, 1999 page 465] .
