| Sumario: | Abstract: The volume under review is a memorial volume to the late Terence
Mitchell, formerly a curator in the British Museum, and it comprises a brief
introduction with a bibliography of the honoree’s publications, eight essays,
and a name index. A number of high-quality color photographs accompany
the essays as relevant.
The most pleasing offering of the volume begins the essays, Paul
Collins’ “Five Unpublished Persepolis Relief Fragments in the Ashmolean
Museum” (1–9), which does precisely what the title proclaims. The article
briefly describes the said fragments with some preliminary notes on how
they appeared in the Oxford collection yet escaped scholarly notice. This
will be of use to scholars of Achaemenid art and the antiquities trade. |
