"With this guide, students and scholars can locate the
impressive plaster casts made from classical Greek and Roman
statues and other pieces that were brought to Cornell by A. D.
White. They can also search out sculptures, pottery, coins, and
functional objects from the ancient world that have been added to
Cornell's collections over the years. Many of these antiquities are
of high quality and significance. They are invaluable for research
and scholarship and for teaching present-day students in fields
from classics to art history to Near Eastern studies, anthropology,
and city and regional planning." from the Foreword by Hunter R.
Rawlings III
A Guide to the Classical Collections of Cornell University gives
an overview of the Cornell Classical collections and discusses the
history and instructional role played by the H. W. Sage Collection
of Casts, an epitome of nineteenth-century scholarship and
attitudes toward classical antiquity in the American university. It
goes on to illustrate and discuss a selection of pottery, ceramics,
sculpture, inscriptions, and Greek and Roman coinage in the Cornell
collections. A chapter on "Life and Death in Antiquity" shows how
humble objects provide an insight into this aspect of the Greek and
Roman world."
