Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of Egyptian Scarabs, Etc, Vol. 1: In the British Museum This volume contains full descriptions of 2,891 royal Egyptian Scarabs, Cylinder-seals, Seal-amulets, etc., on which are cut the names of Icings and royal personages who flourished from the period of the First dynasty, about B.C. 4000, to the end of that of the Ptolemies, about B.C. 50. These are illustrated by 1,518 full-sized photographic reproductions and line drawings distributed throughout the text. Taken as a whole, this Collection of Royal Scarabs, which, however, only forms one-fifth of the Scarab Collection in the British Museum, is the largest and most important in the world, and is invaluable to the student of Egyptian history, religion, and art. The interest of the Scarab is primarily religious and historical, and there is no evidence that it was ever used as currency, as some have supposed. The greater number of the Scarabs herein published have been acquired during recent years, and have not previously been edited. The descriptions given form the greatest mass of material for the study of this subject hitherto made available. And special attention has been given in the descriptions to comparative archaeology, e.g., in the case of the important Scarabs found with Minoan remains in Cyprus and Greece, and those from Mesopotamia, Palestine, Syria and Western Asia generally. This volume is the work of Mr. H. R. Hall, M.A., F.S.A., Assistant in the Department. I have read in manuscript Mr. Halls descriptions and compared them with the original objects. The identifications of the various kinds of stones used in the manufacture of Scarabs are due to Mr. L. J. Spencer, M.A., Assistant in the Department of Mineralogy in the British Museum (Natural History). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
