"List of the principal works referred to ": p.xv-xvi "A much sought for authoritative work describing many rings in wide variety in the catalog but also a masterful preliminary sketch of the most important facts about finger rings: development of ring-wearing, types of rings, materials used, official rings, secular rings, etc. The two-part catalog treats first ancient rings and then early Christian and post-classical rings.
