‘An Alleged Archaic Group.’

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

This is the title of the attempt made by Ashmole, in the last part of the Journal, to establish the spuriousness of the group of a man carrying off a woman which had been published by Studniczka. His attack is mainly directed against the opinions of ‘a certain professor’; obviously a German, as his quotations show. Ashmole does not name the professor out of consideration for his scientific standing; but that no other of my German colleagues may be suspected, I willingly admit that I am the offender. I would, however, observe that my discussion, in addition to the quoted ‘panegyrics,’ which isolated from their context leave an exaggerated impression, contains solid arguments for the authenticity of the group; and that it was drawn up over three years ago, before the long verbal and written, private and public discussions of the group. At that time I should have been perfectly willing to publish my statement—in its entirety, of course.
