Excerpt: The Arundelian Marbles are a collection of Greek marbles collected by Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel in the early seventeenth century, the first such comprehensive collection of its kind in England. They now belong to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University, as a result of a gift made by his grandson Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk in 1667 and of a supplementary gift in 1755, when the extravagant 2nd Earl of Pomfret sold back to his mother those Arundel marbles that had been at Easton Neston, and she donated them to the Ashmolean, where sometimes they are called the Pomfret marbles. The Earl of Arundel had supervised excavations in Rome, and deployed his agents in the Eastern Mediterranean, above all at Istanbul. Late in the seventeenth century, an English visitor to Ottoman Turkey could complain that "the scarcity of antiquities now to be found in Smyrna arises from hence, that it furnished the greatest part of the Marmora Arundeliana." The earl displayed his unrivalled collections at Arundel House, London. Some of these marbles are not works of art but important inscriptions, the first Greek inscriptions that had been seen in Books, , Former-Private-Collections~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Former Private Collections, Books Llc, 1156681111, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
