| Abstract: The styles of the silver and copper coins of Sanabares with Arsacid types suggest that they were struck before the coins of Vologeses I. Pahlavi legends on the copper coins of Gondophares and the absence of Pahlavi on the copper coins of Sanabares suggest, since there is no convincing evidence that there was more than one king with these names, that Sanabares was the earlier of the two. Sanabares was the predecessor of Orthagnes and the contemporary of Phraataces. | ||

| Abstract:
Over the centuries, Persia (Iran) has borne the brunt of periodic invasions. Elements of these foreign cultures, including Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Mongolian and European influences, were incorporated into the native artistic tradition but transmuted by Persian artists into a highly original and uniquely Iranian style. This outstanding collection of motifs comprises over 400 examples of this rich tradition, ready for use in a multitude of design areas. Ranging from prehistoric pottery painting to 20th century calligraphy, this volume spans the full spectrum of Iranian art, including the Achaemenian, Parthian, Sassanian and Safavid eras. Included are designs drawn from textiles (weaves, printed fabrics, embroidery, carpets) ceramics (pottery and tile), carved and incised work (stucco, stone, metal), miscellaneous ornament, book illustration and calligraphy. The author, a native Iranian and well known artist, has carefully rendered designs from original masterpieces in public and private collections around the world. The motifs include floral designs, geometrics, arabesques, mythical creatures, rosettes, paisley patterns, palmettes, medallions, border and marginal decorations, scrolls, curves and hunting scenes. Embodying the sumptuous detail, rich texture and elaborate ornamentation that constitute the glory of Persian art, these motifs also exemplify the Iranian artist's traditional devotion to symmetry, harmonious pattern, and purity of line and form. An invaluable source of design ideas for practical use, Persian Designs and Motifs will be welcomed by artists, needleworkers, weavers and designers (textiles, wallpaper, packaging) and craftspeople working in stained glass, rugs and mosaics. A selection of color plates has been included to give an idea of typical Persian coloring. [Publisher] | ||

| Abstract: La définition même de l'art parthe est difficile à donner. Doit-on s'en tenir à une région géographique, à l'ethnie de ceux qui l'ont produit, contemplé et utilisé ? Doit-on l'aborder par découpages chronologiques ou par ses traits stylistiques ? Nous adopterons ici la division géographique en considérant les régions qui tombèrent sous le contrôle politique des Parthes, ou dont les œuvres artistiques et architecturales présentent de fortes influences parthes. En pratique, cela recouvre une aire immense qui s'étend de l'Asie centrale et l'Iran à la Mésopotamie et au désert de Syrie, au cours d'une période qui débute à la fin du IIe siècle av. J.-C. et s'achève au milieu du IIIe siècle de notre ère. [Publisher] | ||

| Revue Archéologique, 1889, no. Juillet-Decembre | ||
| Abstract:
This article is a summary and review of Markoff's article in Russian, "Coins of the Arsidae", Journal of the Russian Archaelogical Society (1892). The use of the Syro-Macedonian calendar in Iran in the Macedonian and Parthian periods is indisputable. The latter might have been in use in official circles and State documents. It was certainly used on Parthian coins with Greek letters. According to Drouin even the Macedonian months appear on the tetradrachms from the time of Phraates IV (37-4 BC) down to AD 190. | ||

| Abstract: Professor Du Ry, Director of the Historical Museum in Rotterdam, skillfully traces -- through their art -- the long history of the peoples of this region and of the related cultures in Anatolia and Palestine. From the first evidence of Mesolithic man around 9000 B.C., we are led through the early civilizations of Sumer, Lagash, and Ur to the almost legendary great kingdoms and empires of Nineveh, Babylon, Akkad, and Elam. We see how city-states grew uup along the Tigris and Euphrates and how, in spite of the incursions of successive waves of jealous warrior peoples-Kassites, Medes, Semites, Chaldeans- they absorbed their conquerors again and again, rising to flourish anew and gradually to coalesce into regional empires. Finally, with the fall of Babylon in the mid-sixth century B.C., the whole area was united into the mighty Persian Empire of Cyrus the Great. It was under Cyrus and his Achaemenid successors that art reached its highest peak, supremely expressed in teh breathtaking ruins and treasures of Persepolisl. Even the onslaught of the Greeks under Alexander the Great, and the determined attempts of the Romans to set up a permanent client state there, failed to deprive the art of the area of its own special character, as is convincingly shown by the later Parthian and Sassanian renaissances. The combination of Professor Du Ry's absorbing and instructive text with a superb selection of illustrations makes this a book of outstanding importance on the art of the ancient Orient.
