'This handsome hardcover volume is more than sufficiently furnished with black-andwhite illustrations and numerous maps. Additional extensive references of over thirty pages (pp. 189-220) and a thoroughly elaborated
index (pp. 221-30) conclude a well-conceived and well-executed book. Altogether, this is a most welcome and important contribution to the study of the Saite era'.
