Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Important Collection of Ancient Arms and Weapons and Accoutrements, Collected by Mr. Theodore Offerman, of New York: To Which Have Been Added Other Valuable Specimens Contributed by Several Well Known Collectors MY dear mr. Kirby: You have asked me to 'say a few words about the present collection of Arms and Armor, on the ground that 'i had long been a collector and that I might there fore comment helpfully upon the text of this. Catalogue and upon the nice things: which are soon to be sold.' Be this help even a little, I am glad to send you these lines. For while one can claim to be at least an 'old local collector, whose practical memories of sales, go back to the Cogniat (1877) and Carleton Gates (about 1880) Collections, he need. Hardly maintain that he knows a/u, fond the ins! And outs of a subject as extended and difficult as ancient arms and armor. Experience in collect ing, however, certainly does aid one not a little (at great initial cost) in separating the good objects from the bad. The fact of the matter is, that most of our earlier collectors had to depend for their expert knowledge upon the arms which they purchased, or failed to purchase, at public sales; and you will, of course, recall thatit is only within very recent years that arms. And armor appeared in American museums. Before this, he who had the taste for collecting these beautiful and-very rare objects had either to go abroad for his training or to glean what information he could - unsatisfactory at the best for his purpose - from the shelves of libraries. As to the present collection: Mr. Offerman's cabinet is like good wine - it needs no bush. Many of our amateurs know various pieces in it, and many, like myself, have bid in vain for some of its numbers at earlier sales. In general, its piece-s were chosen because they appealed individually to their collector - who Chose because he fancied the lines of an object, or its decoration, and who was not, like some of us, trying to fill in the spaces: in a pre arranged sequence of types - when as Mr. Ambrose Monell re marks, collecting becomes a disease. I might note only that Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Excavations at Dura Europos 1928 1937 written by Simon James and published by Oxbow Books Limited. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a paperback reprint of the first edition, which appeared in 2004, published by British Museum Press. The ancient city of Dura-Europos, destroyed by a Sasanian Persian siege in the AD 250s, was an important regional centre of commerce, government and military control under the Seleucid, Parthian and Roman empires. During excavations in the 1920s and 1930s it became famous for finds such as a painted synagogue and early Christian chapel. Not the least spectacular of the discoveries in this 'Pompeii of the Syrian Desert' were the remains of the town's garrisons and siegeworks and massive quantities of military artefacts. The latter comprise perhaps the most important single collection of arms, armour and other equipment to survive from the Roman period, a collection which is exceptional in its size, diversity and state of preservation. Its colourful painted shields and horse armour, for example, are unequalled in the vast Roman empire or in neighbouring lands. It also holds vital importance for our knowledge of the material culture of the military in the eastern frontier lands of the Roman world. This book provides a complete catalogue of the military artefacts, most of which are now housed in Yale University Art Gallery, and analyses and assesses their cultural affiliations and uses. The archaeological evidence from the site is combined with the equally rich and rare textual and representational evidence in the form of papyri, graffiti and wall-paintings, not to mention the buildings of the city themselves, to examine the ways in which material culture actively creates and expresses identity, in this case of Roman soldiers of Syrian origin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Arms and Armor, European and Oriental, Including the William H. Riggs Collection It is, then, from an examination of good specimens of armor and arms of various periods that one real izes that they well deserve their place in a museum of art. And in this conclusion we need consider neither their historical value, as a means of picturing more accurately scenes and personages of known periods, nor their sentimental interest - which they possess to a degree rarely found in other Objects of art - nor their supposed mystical significance. In the last regard, we recall the myths of god-like armorers and enchanted arms, which belonged to all early times and to all peoples.
