Catalogue of the Scarabs by G. Willoughby Fraser PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Scarabs: Belonging to George Fraser The scarab collection herein described has accumulated from the year 1889 until the present time; owing to my permanent work the drawings went on but slowly, and though begun in 1898, were not completed till the middle of this year. About twenty-five of the scarabs which had been previously published in the Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology are shown in the plates three-quarters full size; the remainder of the collection is represented on a scale of two-thirds natural size. I am indebted to the Society of Biblical Archaeology for permission to use the blocks of the scarabs formerly published in their Proceedings (May, 1899), and must here say that I have not seen reason to change the views I expressed in that paper, with regard to the age of the "Shesha" and similar scarabs. Consequently the arrangement of the scarabs in this book follows the lines I laid down then. To Mr. W. H. Rylands, F.S.A., I am very much indebted for the arrangement of my drawings previous to making the blocks. Mr. W. L. Nash, F.S.A., has most kindly aided me throughout, and it is no exaggeration to say that without his help this book could not have been published, owing to my absence in Egypt.
