Excerpt from Franks Bequest: Catalogue of the Finger Rings, Early Christian, Byzantine, Teutonic, Mediaeval and Later
The present volume is intended to supplement the Catalogue of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman finger-rings to which allusion is made at the beginning of the Introduction. It includes all the rings of post-classical times in the Museum. The system upon which the Catalogue has been drawn up, and-the difficulty of handling many of the points that arise with finality, or even on logical lines, have been pointed out on a subsequent page.
