 Many "Festschriften" also feature a "tabula gratulatoria", an extended list of academic colleagues and friends who send their best wishes to the honoree.In the case of prominent academics, several "Festschriften" might be prepared by various groups of students and colleagues, particularly if the scholar made significant contributions to different fields.In Germany it is an honor to be designated to prepare such a collection, and being selected by a prominent academic to edit a "Festschrift", according to Claudio Naranjo, can symbolize the proverbial passing of the torch.
