Preface

The publication of the volume was helped by the Komatsu Chiko Foundation (Kyoto), which has supported many of our publications already, and by the continued support of the British Museum. I wish to express my gratitude on behalf of the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, as well as my personal thanks, for the support of our sponsors, since without it we could not have even begun our work. I also wish to thank all my colleagues in Britain and Hungary for their renewed co-operation; it has been a pleasure to work together again. I now present the completed catalogue to all researchers at home and abroad who share an interest in the achievements of Sir Aurel Stein.
