About the book >.>.> The catalogue is divided into two groups for Rogier and for Campin; entries are arranged by location. Some compositions are known in several versions no one of which need dominate; these are classed under V (Various Collections). Reference to a reproduction elsewhere is given if the subject of the entry is not here reproduced. Some cross-references and indexes will I hope make the entries findable. The book also includes lists of records concerning Rogier Campin and Daret and a list of bibliographical abbreviations. The treatment is not full. Catalogue entries for Campin are slighter than for Rogier. I have received much help. I wish here particularly to thank Dr. I. Grafe Mr. Keith Roberts and Miss Patricia Wood of the Phaidon Press for varied assistance; Professor E. Holzinger of the Staedelsches Kunst- institut at Frankfurt for giving me permission to reproduce the recently cleaned reverse of Campin’s Thief Dr. F. Klauner of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and Drs. E. Herzog and F. Lahusen of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen at Cassel for allowing me to study pictures in their charge not at the time on public view. (OS)
