A fitting tribute to a beloved teacher and scholar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essays in Ancient Civilization Presented to Helene J. Kantor (Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization) (Paperback)
This volume is a collection of studies written by a wide range of scholars, dealing with the culture, history, art and archaeology of the Ancient World, especially relating to the ancient near east. Written as a tribute to the Late Helene J. Kantor, one of the leading figures in the study of the art of the ancient near east in the 20th century, it is a tribute to the wide-ranging interests and expertise, outstanding teaching skills and warmth of the late Prof. Kantor. The various papers offer studies covering a wide range of topics, such as pottery from Bronze Age Syria and the Levant, Mesopotamian art, history and chronology, to mention but a few. Though this volume is not meant for the general public, the high scholarly quality of most of the articles insures it will play an important role in modern archaeological and historical research of the ancient near east, and serve as a worthy memory for the late Helene Kantor.
