This handbook is a guide to the collection.  https://escholarship.org/uc/item/14q686n6 Mon, 27 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Ziegler, Alice H. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p46b7rg Sasanian Sealstones is a B.A. thesis completed in 1994 by Catherine Bullock (Demos), who graduated from Near Eastern Studies (now MELC). The thesis was completed under the direction of Professor Guitty Azarpay, as part of a project to catalog and study the Gans Collection of seals, involving multiple undergraduate and graduate researchers throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Bullock later contributed to the digital publication of the Gans Collection on the now-retired online Sasanian Empire project on the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative. Although the MELC Department does not typically make undergraduate theses available online, an exception was made for the present thesis as it was and is a very useful aid to the Sasanian part of the Gans Collection and enriches the material available for its study. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9p46b7rg Mon, 12 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Bullock, Catherine https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8ns6650c Sasanian Seals from the Collection of the late Edward Gans is a publication that accompanied the digital publication of the Gans Collection on the now-retired Sasanian Empire project on the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative in 2001. It was meant to function as a brief introduction to the digital collection, the cataloging of the objects, and to overview a series of articles that were also made available on the ECAI website. It is also useful for the mention it makes of the many students who contributed to work on the Collection. Since for many years it was the only publication about the Gans Collection that circulated among scholars, it has seemed best to keep it available at a consistent digital location. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8ns6650c Mon, 12 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Azarpay, Guitty
