John Boardman. Greek gems and Finger rings. Early bronze age to late classical. Thames and Hudson, 1970. 458 pages with 51 plates in colour, 1016 photographs and 318 line drawings

The miniaturist art of gern engraving is the least familiär of the major arts of ancient Greece, yet we know it to have been practised by the greatest artists and its masterpieces can challenge many better known works of sculpture and painting. This book is the first in over half a Century to present a comprehensivc account of the art in Greek lands from the Early Bronze Age down to the Hellenistic period. It explores the subjcct as one of intrinsic importance and intercst, and not merely as a mirror in miniature of the other arts. The gems are related to the history and to the artistic achievements in other media of their day, and the subject matter of the scenes engraved upon them is examined and found to hold much that will be new to students of Greek myth and iconography. Materials, techniques, shapes in short, the archaeology of the gems and signet rings are studied as thoroughly as their art.

Mr Boardman has already published monographs on limited periods of Greek gern engraving [Island Gems, Archaic Greek Gems and Engraved Gems: The lonides Collection). Here the developmcnt ofthe Bronze Age Studios in the Minoan and Mycenaean world is also discusscd, and the works of the great period of Classical gern engraving are resolved into their styles and schools, with a special chapter devoted to Greek works within the Persian empire. The attributions and discussion are supported by full notes and lists. The plates, which show the gems cnlarged up to four times their natural size, present the füllest possible ränge of dcvices and styles from all periods. This will be an essential work of reference for students and scholars, as well as a thorough survey of the subject for all lovers of Greek art.
