Scarabs (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to the Study of Egyptian Seals and Signet Rings (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Scarabs
Since the year 1895, when Professor Flinders Petrie's book on Historical Scarabs became "out of print," the want of a comprehensive work on these interesting little Egyptian antiquities has been much felt. Two volumes 011 Egyptian Scarabs, it is true, have been published since that date, but these works treat of private collections and do not claim to deal with the subject in its entirety or even in a scientific manner.
A long residence, extending over several years, at Thebes, the centre of the Upper Egyptian Scarab market, and the place where the best imitation Scarabs are now manufactured, has, I may claim, given me exceptional opportunities for studying this class of Ancient Egyptian antiquities and its allied forms.
