page 237 note 1 Curiously Witt seems to misunderstand the point of Baltrušaitis' book; for he calls him ‘the contemporary Isiac Baltrušaitis’, Sicilia and lists him with other Egyptomaniacs (p. 279). On the same area see also E. Iversen, The Myth of Egypt and Its Hieroglyphs in European Tradition (1961).
