Wilhelm (von) Bode (1845-1929) 

Wilhelm (von) Bode, director-general of the Royal Museums in Berlin since 1905, had started early to collect Islamic carpets in Italy, and has written a standard work on Islamic carpet studies, which has been revised and reprinted over many decades.

He has the great merit of having initiated an Islamic department at the Berlin Museums.  He also inspired the young Friedrich Sarre for the Islamic art history and later won him as director of the newly founded department (1904).
