BIBLIOGRAPHY. A very great number of books have been devoted to the general subject of ceramic art. But none of these can be said to treat merely of the rough wares that are not to be classified as faience, majolica, porcelain. and the like. The bibliographies given under all the special terms, for which see the first. paragraph of the above article, should be examined. In this Once there will be named some general treatises and those works especially devoted to ancient potteries, Egyptian, Greek, and the like.
Of general treatises, Jacquemart, llrucode de la eeramique (Paris, 1S73). is an often cited treat ise, and the illustrations, which are very nuttier ors. are well drawn and the subjects well selected. The book by Friedrich ,laennicke, Grundriss der Keramik (Stuttgart, 1879), is a very thick oc tavo, crowded with illustrations and fully in dexed, with a great number of reproductions of makers' marks. Marryat, Pottery and Porcelain (3d ed., London, 186S), is a general treatise on modern ware, but does not cover all the ground.
For ancient pottery, an admirable standard work is History of Ancient Pottery, Egyptian, Assyr ian, Greek, Etrusewi, and Roman (London, 1873), by Samuel Birch. Among the costly books especially devoted to the Greek painted vases are: Bendorf. Gricchische and sizilisehe lasen bilder (Berlin, preface dated 1868) ; Lau, Die gricehischen (Leipzig, 1877) : Dumont and Chaplain, Les re'rauiqlres de In Grece propre (Paris. 1888 et seq.) ; and for slighter or more general treatises the band-books of Collignon. Thstoirc de la erainique qrecque (Paris, 1888) ; and of A. S. :Murray, Rand-book of Greek Archw ology (London, 1892) for Greece. There are sev eral books containing the bibliography of pot tery in connection with the historical texts and there is a List of the Works on Pottery and Porcelain in the South Kensington Art Library, by Soden Smith. The Bibliographic c&amique of Cbamptleury (Paris, 1881) is very complete for books published before its own date.
