Excerpt from Catalogue of Arretine PotteryThe collection thus formed has not been unknown to scholars. As addi tions have been made they have been described in the annual reports of the curator of classical art from 1895 on. Casts have been placed on sale, some of which are described by F. Behn in a catalogue of the Mainz Museum, 1 which gives a survey of the development of Roman pottery.For the following catalogue of the Boston collection the Museum has been most fortunate in securing the services of Professor George H. Chase, whose catalogue of the Loeb Collection of Arretine Ware 2 has been an epoch-making work in this field. For the convenience of students the introduction has been revised and reprinted from that work.The Museum further is deeply indebted to Mr. James Loeb for the generous gift which has made it possible to print the volume at the present time. It is but one more example of the devoted interest in the remains of classical antiquity and their lesson for our age, on the part of this scholar and patron of scholarship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
