CAVI Comments: FELLMANN COMPARES THE FF., BOTH FOR STYLE AND SUBJECT: VATICAN 328
(ALBIZZATI, PL. 35) AND A CUP IN PALERMO; ANOTHER SIMILARITY IS WITH BRIJDER'S
`RUNNERS PAINTER' (BRIJDER (1975), 260FF.), ALTHOUGH THE PALMETTES ARE
DIFFERENT. - AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE OF THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO THE WRITING OF
LETTERS.
