part of the preface

ILL book on trajan's column with the  Cichorius Plates came in today.

in the preface this was written

"Time passes, even for scholars, and as a result this is an old men' book (even in 1979 we were mistaken at Bucharest on one occasion for participants in a geriatric convention). We hope, nevertheless, that the candid reader will detect in it more evidence of mature wisdom than of senile amnesia..."

I am amused already.
