40 ARCHAEOLOGY 



Curator of the Musee National de Versailles, editor of 

 the " Bibliotheque litteraire de la Renaissance." He 

 has written numerous works on Versailles and the famous 

 persons associated with it, "Petrarque et Phumanisme," 

 (2d ed., 2 vols., 1907) and other works relating to the 

 Renaissance. Edmond POTTIER, Curator of Oriental 

 Antiquities and Ancient Ceramics in the Louvre, a 

 critic who makes even catalogues interesting; known 

 to classical scholars through many attractive books 

 and articles on ancient ceramics and terra-cottas, and 

 also as the responsible editor of all the later parts of the 

 great Daremberg and Saglio " Dictionnaire des Antiquites 

 grecques et romaines." Salomon REESTACH, Curator of 

 the Musee des Antiquites nationales at St.-Germain-en- 

 Laye, who is, perhaps, the best known of all the French 

 archaeologists, a man of vast erudition and wide inter- 

 ests. He has placed archaeologists of all countries 

 under lasting obligations to him through the convenient 

 books of reference which he has edited, the "Repertoire 

 de la statuaire grecque et romaine" (4 vols., 1897-1910); 

 "Repertoire des vases peints" (2 vols., 1899, 1900); 

 "Repertoire des peintures du moyen age et de la Renais- 

 sance" (3 vols., 1905-10); "Repertoire des reliefs grecs 

 et remains" (3 vols., 1909-12). The breadth of his 

 interests is suggested by this list, and even more by the 

 titles of some of his other books: "Manuel de Philologie 

 classique" (2d ed., 1904); "Cultes, mythes, et religions" 

 (4 vols., 1905-12); "Orpheus; Histoire generate des 

 Religions" (5th ed., 1905). His "Apollo," a brief but 

 scholarly attempt to treat the history of art from 

 palaeolithic times to the present day, has been several 

 times re-issued and translated into other languages. 

 He has been for many years one of the editors of the 

 important "Revue archeologique," associated formerly 

 with G. PERROT, now with E. POTTIER,
