Hardcover. xi, [1], 447 p.; front. (port.); 24 cm. -- Archaeologist in the Oriental Seminary of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. "Bright recalled Albright as "essentially a serious-minded man, not given to wisecracks and banter. But he had quite a fund of supposedly true anec- dotes. The classic among these is surely the incident of the lizard soup in 1932. Albright paid some of the Arab potsherd boys to catch a couple of the lizards that swarmed all over the place. Nelson Glueck was to conceal one of the (now deceased) lizards on his person, and during the soup course surreptitiously slip it into his soup. Glueck played his part masterfully, pulling out the lizard with a roar of shocked surprise and looking as if he were going to be ill. Albright shouted with well simulated anger, `I told that cook never to make that lizard soup again!'" (162) -- "He could pick up two or three [potsherds] and then knew just about when the particular layer in which they were found could be dated." (159) -- "His experience in Palestinian archaeology was one that few people until now,when the Israelis .can do this work, could have; he had the experience in the early times of being there personally and seeing everything." (p. 411) -- "There was never any precise line at which one could say, `Oh, Prof. Albright would not be interested in that.' He was, perhaps, the last example we shall see in this century in the United States of a Renaissance man." (427) -- "Because he was not working for his own honor but only to find the truth, and served only that one mistress, truth, he could afford to change his mind when more evidence came to light." (p. 434) -- ".he quoted Alexandre Vinet in French --`The truth, without the search for truth, is only half the truth.' (50) VG blue boards edgeworn illus. dj.
