Iranians and Greeks in South Russia - Robert Bedrosian's Armenian ...

X PREFACE
Museum, to Mr. Edmond Pettier, Keeper of the Louvre, to Mr.
Ernest Babelon, Director of the Cabinet des Medailles at Paris,
to Mr. Edward Robinson, Director of the Metropolitan Museum,
and to Mrs. E. Meyer, of New York.
The text of my book was written partly in French, partly in
English. For the translation of the French part and for a thorough
revision of the Enghsh I am indebted to the self-sacrificing kindness
of Mr. J. D. Beazley. I cannot find adequate words to express my
warm thanks to that accomplished scholar for his help. He assisted
me also in reading the proofs and in arranging and composing the
illustrations. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Ellis H. Minns,
who read the proofs of my book.
But for the scientific spirit of the staff of the Clarendon Press
my book could never have been published in such beautiful form
and with so many illustrations.
The index was compiled by my wife, Mrs. S. Rostovtzeff.
I dedicate my book to some living and many dead friends. To
these men I am indebted for what I know about the history of South
Russia.
