Abstract
Scarabs were very common amulets or lucky charms. They are shaped like the dung beetle, which makes animal dung into balls, which it pushes along the ground. The Ancient Egyptians thought that the god Khepri was like a giant beetle who pushed the sun across the sky. People also thought that scarabs would protect them when they were dead so that their spirit could live safely in the otherworld. For this reason, scarabs were often placed in the coffin with a mummy. Other scarabs were used like a seal to stamp the name of the pharaoh on official documents.

Leslie was educated at King's College and Paris. A Canonist at King's in 1556 and 1558-9 he was secretary to Mary Queen of Scots and a staunch defender of King's College's Catholic identity in the 1560's. One of a large number of images relating to the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College (the College was visited by James V in 1541 while Leslie was a student) and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges.
Kelly delivered lectures on architecture in the university during the 1920's. Aiken (1880-1961) was born and trained in Aberdeen before studying in London. Head of Gray's School of Art 1911-14, he was mainly a portrait painter.
A graduate of King's College, and a student at Geneva, Keith (1553-1623) was the founder (1593) and first Chancellor of Marischal College which he endowed with sufficient funds to maintain a principal, three professors and six bursars. The portrait is a copy of an original reputed to be by George Jamesone. Cosmo Alexander (1724-1772) was trained under his father John Alexander. Both artists worked for King's and Marischal Colleges. Cosmo Alexander fought in the 1745 Jacobite rising and subsequently fled to Rome. One of the pre-eminent painters of leading Catholic and jacobite families of the period this work is his earliest known portrait. C.osmo Alexander was Jamesone's great grandson. See ABDUA: 30627.
Professor William Johnston (d.1640) was the first Professor of Mathematics at Marischal College in 1626 and was the younger brother of Arthur Johnston see 30091. George Jamesone (1590-1644) was a native of Aberdeen and Scotland's first known painter of real merit. Traditionally he is said to have trained in Antwerp, and his work has strong affinities with the Low Countries.
A major Scottish writer of Latin verse, probably second only to George Buchanan Johnston (1587-1641) was Rector of King's College in 1637. He was a well travelled scholar having been Professor of Philosophy at Heidelberg, of Logic and Metaphysics at Sedan and MD at Padua. Some of his poetry involves Jamesone directly either addressed to the painter or praising his work.

One of a large number of images of the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges. This particular image is based on a 1623 painting of James VI by Adam de Colone now in Hatfield House.
