In this paper, we present the edition of an unpublished letter from Ernst H. Gombrich to Delio Cantimori, dated 29 October 1964, kept in the Archive of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The document, compared with other sources preserved in The Warburg Institute Archive, previously unpublished and recently made public in a volume printed in France by Philippe Despoix and Martin Treml, sheds new light on the genesis of the Intellectual Biography by Ernst H. Gombrich (London 1970) and on the role, hitherto unknown and denied by Gombrich himself, that Gertrud Bing played in the biography of Aby Warburg.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the edition of an unpublished letter from Ernst H. Gombrich to Delio Cantimori, dated 29 October 1964, kept in the Archive of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa. The document, compared with other sources preserved in The Warburg Institute Archive, previously unpublished and recently made public in a volume printed in France by Philippe Despoix and Martin Treml, sheds new light on the genesis of the Intellectual Biography by Ernst H. Gombrich (London 1970) and on the role, hitherto unknown and denied by Gombrich himself, that Gertrud Bing played in the biography of Aby Warburg.
