Book Description
Excerpt from The Elder Pliny's Chapters on the History of Art Besides those scholars who have given me constant and special help, I have to thank Mr. A. S. Murray, M. S. Reinac/z, and Professor Wil/zelzn Klein for many friendly hints, Mr. Bernhard Berenson for helping me to a better understanding of passages concerned with the technique of art, and Director G. Von Laubmann for the singular privi leges accorded to me as a reader in the Royal Library at Munich. Above all am I beholden to my friend Miss K. Yer-blake, not only for undertaking the translation, but for her liberality in allowing certain readings to be printed, of whose soundness she was not fully convinced. She has also found time, amid the arduous tasks imposed by College lecturing, to compile both Indices, and to assist in the revision of the book throughout.
