Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Inscriptions of Cos

It is much to be wished that the inscriptions of the more important Greek islands should be published in separate form, as the islands were always, and still are, very distinct com munities, most retentive of their peculiarities. I shall con sider myself rewarded for any labour expended on the present work, if some one caps it with a Corpus of the Rhodian Inscriptions - really a most necessary thing.

Excerpt from The Inscriptions of Cos

I spent some time at Cos in 1888, hunting for inscriptions; and, as I found a good many new ones, and convinced myself that others had been inaccurately edited, I thought that the publication of a Corpus of the Coan Inscriptions would be desirable.

It is much to be wished that the inscriptions of the more important Greek islands should be published in separate form, as the islands were always, and still are, very distinct communities, most retentive of their peculiarities. I shall consider myself rewarded for any labour expended on the present work, if some one caps it with a Corpus of the Rhodian Inscriptions - really a most necessary thing.

I give all the Coan Inscriptions known to me: no doubt some already published have escaped me, but, I hope, nothing important. In inscription-hunting, Mr. John Kalesperis, of Calymnos, was of immense service to me. I spent much time, and some money, in trying to gain access to the fortress, which contains a good many inscribed stones, but in vain: the story of my endeavours is instructive, but is too old to tell. There are probably a good many inscriptions, still unpublished, in Turkish houses in the town, and others built into ruined cisterns and old wells; but I think that I nearly exhausted the accessible material.
