Books by A. D. Trendall

The total number of extant Apulian red-figured vases cannot fall far short of 10,000. The first of two volumes, this work attempts to survey the history and development of the fabric as a whole, from its beginnings in the later fifth century BC to its end around 300. It also gives a representative selection of the minor pieces.

More than 5000 vases from Apulia are classified and catalogued in these volumes. These vases are of great importance for the history of Greek art and, in their representations, for our knowledge of Greek mythology and for illustration of lost literature.
