PREFACE
In Necrocorinthia, the Catalogue of Vases is placed at the end of the book, following the chapters of
running text. In the present work, that order is reversed, and the chapters of the Commentary follow
the Catalogue. There are reasons for this difference. The main one is that the Commentary was not
actually completed until after the Catalogue was already set into page proof. This sequence offered
obvious advantages of making full use of the Catalogue while writing the Commentary, and ofhaving
the final pagination of the Catalogue conveniently at hand for cross-references. Another reason for
this order is to demonstrate that the Commentary is exactly what its title implies~not a complete
reworking of Payne's text, but a series of notes in which certain topics relevant to that text are
treated selectively. Several of Payne's topics are entirely omitted. Others are given a fairly
thorough review in order to provide a reasonably up-to-date account of their subjects. Between
these two extremes, still other chapters, more like a series of separate observations than a
systematic compendium, are offered as a start toward a more exhaustive treatment.
This uneven handling of the material under discussion is partly a result oflimitations of time
and space, partly a reflection of my own unreadiness to try to "improve" on Payne. The reader is
therefore urged to look on these chapters as supplementary to, but in no sense as substitutions for,
Payne's text. Necrocorinthia is still the basic reference; the present work is an appendage~a useful
one, it is hoped, but still an appendage~to that monumental heritage.
In the course of this work, further obligations have been incurred which I wish to mention
here. Most important among these is my debt to the staff of the University of California Press, who
with enduring patience have tolerated the long delay in the completion of the text. My thanks for
their forbearance is due especially to William McClung and Susan Peters. For sympathetic and
skillful editing I am especially indebted to Lorna Price; and, for fine art-work and much-needed
editorial assistance at a crucial stage I warmly thank Barbara Forbes, and also Evelyn Bell for her
additional editorial help. Finally, my thanks are owed to many friends and colleagues whose help
has been given in one way or another. A work like this could never have been completed without
that kind of help.

particularly to Chapters I and II); and to some which have an interest extending beyond the specific
content of any one topic (as in Chapters III-VIII). Concerning the latter, references to works dealing
narrowly and exclusively with one of those particular topics will be found in the bibliographical headings
within the appropriate Chapters and segments.

In the Bibliography there are only two titles older than Humfrey Payne's Necrocorinthia ( 1931).
The earlier of these is Hans Wilisch, Die Altkorinthische Thonindustrie ( 1892), which is listed pietatis
causa as the first attempt to deal systematically with our subject. Though in most respects it is long
obsolete, it contains a considerable amount of still-useful information. 1 The other is K. Friis
Johansen's Les vases sicyoniens (1923), a work which still excites the admiration of specialists
because of the author's keenness of perception and uncanny foresight; it is a book that is in many
ways far ahead of its time. Apart from the mistaken placement of the home of Protocorinthian
ware at Sikyon (understandable in the then-existing state ofknowledge), this remarkable piece of
research still stands as a basic, indispensable point of reference for further study.
Payne's marvelous eye for style allowed him to recognize a fairly large number of individual
Corinthian vase-painters, in addition to mapping out most of the major stylistic subdivisions, but
he did not bother to provide (conventionally assigned) names for more than a few of these, and his
method of drawing up lists was very informal. Indeed, after modestly declaring his inability to
"attribute very many vases to their authors," he goes on to state: "A thorough analysis of the style
would in this respect be a somewhat unremunerative task."2 Also, in Protokorinthische Vasenmalerei
( 1933), in spite of Payne's obvious awareness of attributed or attributable PC vases, he is much
more concerned with sequential development than with connoisseurship. Also, at that stage in
Corinthian studies, in the absence of attribution lists, there was no way ofproviding indexes of the
kind that Beazley has made so thoroughly indispensable-most emphatically indexes of collections,
without which it is all but impossible to maintain a coherent record.
