Title: Excellent sourcebook
Product review: This is a sourcebook, set out in chronological order, with a focus on art and architecture, that conveys a huge amount of information in a readable and even enjoyable fashion. For one writing on the period, the information here is invaluable, and mine is a keeper.There is a brief discussion of a drawing (found, I think, in a tomb) that seems to show a winged being descending. The image is fragmentary, but the reconstruction is well done and the discussion of what the image seems to show is excellently handled.As I've said (rather ironically) with the other sourcebooks in my research shelves, this is not a page-turner. Not all books should be. This is a book where the reader sits with a pencil and paper (or, perhaps, a laptop), frowns at a page, says 'Hmmmmm...' and takes notes.I recommend it very highly for research purposes.
