Book excerpt: Excerpt from East Christian Paintings in the Freer Collection In the preparation of the Studies presented in the following pages I have been indebted to many for kind assistance. First of all, I am under deep obligation to Mr. Charles L. Freer for affording every facility in the use of the material in his collection and for his generous support of the publication. M. Charles Diehl, of the Sorbonne, read the Studies in proof and made valuable suggestions. Dr. E. C. Richardson of Princeton University, and Professor H. A. Sanders of the University of Michigan, assisted in the solving of palaeographical difficulties. The extent of my obligation to Strzygowski, Brockhaus, Dalton, and other masters in the field of East Christian art may be inferred from the number of citations of their contributions in the notes and in the list of illustrations. The colored plates and heliotype plates in this volume were made by The Heliotype Company, of Boston; the negatives for plates XI-XIII were prepared by Mr. George R. Swain.
