Bemerkungen

Very good condition for age - The second Oxford fascicule of the Corpus Vasorum contains: the Hellenic Cretan vases; -- the Corinthian vases ( including Protocorinthian ) , and the Italo-Corinthian; -- the East Greek vases; -- about half the Attic black-figured vases; -- those Attic red-figured and Attic black vases which have been acquired since the completion of the first fascicule; -- additions and corrections to the text of the first fascicule. -- Sections 1 and 2 are by Mr. H. G. G. Payne, section 3 by Miss E. R. Price, the rest by myself. Miss Price arranged the vases in section 3 for photographing, and a few of those in sections 4 and 5: the rest I arranged myself. The make-up of the plates, except one or two in section 3, is mine. Mr. Payne and I have read all the proofs. -- Section 5 includes a lot of fragments from Naucratis which came to light lately in a loft. -- The vases described as ‘from the Vernon collection’ were bought at Sotheby’s on 16 December 1926. The sale catalogue speaks of ‘the collection formed by Baron Nugent, I ligh Commissioner of the Ionian Islands in 1832, now the property of Lord Vernon’: but this statement was corrected in a fly-sheet issued by Messrs. Sotheby before the sale: the collection belonged to Lord Vernon, but had never belonged to Lord Nugent. Now (he aspect of the collection showed clearly that it had been formed not by purchases in the market, but directly from excavation; and an earlier Lord Vernon is known to have excavated at Cumae ( Mon. Lincei, 22, p. 42 ) ; and the vases were just such as have come from other Cumaean excavations. We have therefore inferred the provenience Cumae for the Vernon vases. -- A good many of the fragments and fragmentary vases published in the first fascicule have now been augmented by fragments which I found in other collections, and which have been acquired by exchange from the University of Leipsic, the University of Heidelberg, the Sculpture Collection in Dresden, by purchase from the Stádel Institute at Frankfort.
