CONCORDANCE OF NUMBERS OF TABLETS IN THIS
VOLUME AND IN THE REGISTER OF THE MUSEUM
AT HERAKLEION (CANDIA)
The Tablets from the Archives of Knossos are, with a few exceptions, preserved in the Museum at
Herakleion (Candia) in Crete, and registered in its Inventory, apparently in the order in which they
were received there. Most of them bear the register-numbers, and some bear also numbers written in
red or blue, which refer to provisional numberings of Sir Arthur Evans. They do not however bear
his definitive numbers as published in this volume.
It had been the intention of Dr. Alice Kober, of Brooklyn College, New York, to go to Herakleion
as soon as the Museum was reopened after the War, and check these numbers, and Sir Arthur Evans's
transcripts, with the originals.
After her lamented death, Dr. Emmett L. Bennett, jun., of Yale University, most kindly under-
took this work, and completed it in August 1950. He found the tablets for the most part in good order,
but a considerable number are missing, besides those already known to be in the British Museum
(13 and 1171) and in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford (p. 108) and in the collection of Dr. Giamalakis
in Herakleion (p. 109). He was informed that one large tablet and fifteen fragments are in the National
Museum at Athens, but that they were not yet accessible.

VOLUME AND IN THE REGISTER OF THE MUSEUM
AT HERAKLEION (CANDIA)
The Tablets from the Archives of Knossos are, with a few exceptions, preserved in the Museum at
Herakleion (Candia) in Crete, and registered in its Inventory, apparently in the order in which they
were received there. Most of them bear the register-numbers, and some bear also numbers written in
red or blue, which refer to provisional numberings of Sir Arthur Evans. They do not however bear
his definitive numbers as published in this volume.
It had been the intention of Dr. Alice Kober, of Brooklyn College, New York, to go to Herakleion
as soon as the Museum was reopened after the War, and check these numbers, and Sir Arthur Evans's
transcripts, with the originals.
After her lamented death, Dr. Emmett L. Bennett, jun., of Yale University, most kindly under-
took this work, and completed it in August 1950. He found the tablets for the most part in good order,
but a considerable number are missing, besides those already known to be in the British Museum
(13 and 1171) and in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford (p. 108) and in the collection of Dr. Giamalakis
