DIEFFENBACH, P.,

Dieffenbach relates the history of scholarly aluusions to a god "Cautopates" being revered in the Roman empire, although there had been scant evidence, and here writes up the unearthing of his image with an inscription during construction work on the railway station in Friedberg. He takes Cautopates to be another name for Mithras, shown on the folding plate with his cap.

Moore explains in his introduction to this edition that an edition illustrated by Turner was the brainchild of the publisher, John Macrone. Turner actually produced numerous sketches for many episodes of the work:, but only four were selected; his originals were rediscovered by E.T.Cook in 1905 and discussed in his "Hidden Treasures in the National Gallery".
