injury, and the publication has at last been undertaken by
Professor Sogliano.
Professor Mau wishes to make grateful acknowledgment of
obligation to Messrs. C. Bazzani, R. Koldewey, G. Randanini,
and G. Tognetti for kind assistance in making ready for the
engraver the drawings presenting restorations of buildings; to
the authorities of the German Archaeological Institute for
freely granting the use of a number of drawings in its collec-
tion ; and to the photographer, Giacomo Brogi of Florence, for
placing his collection of photographs at the author’s disposal
and making special prints for the use of the engraver. In
addition to the photographs obtained from Brogi, a small num-
ber were furnished for the volume by the translator, and a few
were derived from other sources.
The restorations are not fanciful. They were made with
the help of careful measurements and of computations based
upon the existing remains; occasionally also evidence derived
from reliefs and wall paintings was utilized. Uncertain details
are generally omitted.
It is due to Professor Mau to say that in preparing his manu-
script for English readers I have, with his permission, made
some changes. The order of presentation has occasionally been
altered. In several chapters the German manuscript has been
abridged, while in others, containing points in regard to which
English readers might desire a somewhat fuller statement, I
have made slight additions. The preparation of the English
form of the volume, undertaken for reasons of friendship, has
been less a task than a pleasure.
