Book Description

ISBN-10: 019726168X | ISBN-13: 978-0197261682 | Publication Date: December 1, 1997

This second Scottish fascicule of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum makes accessible to researchers the interesting and undeservedly neglected collections of vases in the Hunterian Museum, the Burrell collection, and Kellingrove Museum. The collections include Bronze-Age, Etruscan, Archaic and Classical Greek, and South Italian material, little of which has been published before.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`A detailed catalogue of the Greek and Italian vases from three collections in Glasgow in the Hunterian Museum, the Kelvingrove Museum and the Burrell Collection.' Antiquity, Volume 71, Number 274, December 1997

`Each entry gives details of previous owner and bibliography, where applicable, followed by a meticulously detailed but concise description of the piece ... Moignard's eye for detail can hardly be faulted, and is matched by a lucid style of description which is easy to follow even for details which cannot be seen in the photographs ... This fine volume should go a long way towards making the Glasgow collections as well known as they clearly deserve to be.' Emma J. Stafford, The Classical Review
