Religious Studies at the University of Vienna: A History of the Department, published by the department itself in 2020, is an institutional self-account of its own founding and development. As a self-account it carries direct authority for its own timeline and structure. Its limit is that it is not an independent scholarly history of the discipline of religious studies more broadly, and a claim about the field itself, rather than this one department, should draw on outside scholarship.

Religious Studies at the University of Vienna: A History of the Department, published by the department itself in 2020, the middle tier reflecting an institutional self-account that carries direct authority for its own timeline and structure. Its limit is that it is not an independent scholarly history of the discipline of religious studies more broadly, and a claim about the field itself should draw on outside scholarship. NotesThe University of Vienna Department of the Study of Religions' own history of itself (2020); an institutional self-account, not independent scholarly history.
