Stephan Kessler : 1622-1700; ein Tiroler Maler der Rubenszeit; Katalog zur Sonderausstellung, 1. Juni - 31. Oktober 2005, Diözesanmuseum Hofburg Brixen usw. hrsg. von Leo Andergassen u.a. [Paperback]

This facsimile reissue of Flinders Petries extensive catalog of buttons and scarabs describes and illustrates over 1500 examples, along with an appendix on additions to the Scarabs and Cylinders volume published earlier. In keeping with his other object catalogs, Petrie devises object classifications based on form with an attempt at dating their sequences. He describes the back of the objects, materials, their designs and inscriptions, and offers ideas on their meanings. Particular attention is paid to animal and human representations and those possibly of gods. He also identifies several local series. Table of Contents 1. Buttons 2. Designs on buttons 3.
