From the cover of the 1848 edition, a virtual antiquity created by Dennis. It is a hybrid of two Etruscan artifacts: a mirror, and the handle of a patera in the Vatican Museums. (See chapter 59, note 93.) |
As almost always, I retyped the text rather than scanning it: not only to minimize errors prior to proofreading, but as an opportunity for me to become intimately familiar with the work, an exercise which I heartily recommend. (Well-meaning attempts to get me to scan text, if successful, would merely turn me into some kind of machine: gambit declined.)
I ran a first proofreading pass immediately after entering each chapter, so that the text of all the chapters is quite good already. I've now started final proofreading: in the table of contents below, chapters whose text I believe to be completely errorfree are shown on blue backgrounds.

I am keying the text by hand from the original edition, in two volumes, John Murray, Albemarle Street, London, 1848.
a Since Dennis wrote, it has been proved that Cosa, despite being in Etruscan territory, was never an Etruscan town, rather was founded by the Romans.
❦
b Current consensus is that what Dennis describes is not Vetulonia; it is, however, an Etruscan town, and has been partly excavated. Dennis's chapter is thus a mixture of information about ancient Vetulonia, and the finds at the place now known as Doganella; it is up to us to read carefully and untangle the two. For further information about the latter, see the scholarly literature and especially the work of Etruscan specialist Dr. Maria-Grazia Celuzza; once online, but with the continued shrinkage of the Web, no longer.
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
