Herwart's "Thesaurus contains a complete engraved reproduction of the Isiac table ... More important are his reproductions of the inscriptions of various Egyptian monuments, among which are the hieroglyphical texts of no less than 19 obelisks. Some of these ... are entirely fictitious ..., others are very clumsy and imperfect ..., but the rest ... are undoubtedly direct copies made from original monuments. They are as a matter of fact ... remarkably accurate, and take obviously great pains to retain the 'style' of the original signs ... Only a few of its representations are commented upon in short headings ... But even as it is, as a mere catalogue, the book became a landmark in the history of early Egyptology, as the only book in which authentic Egyptian inscriptions could be found, and Egyptian hieroglyphs seen. As such it remained for a long time an important, though unfortunately very often unacknowledged, source of subsequent Egyptological publications."
