Geographers of the Ancient Greek World 2 Volume Hardback Set: Selected Texts in

Description: Geographers of the Ancient Greek World 2 Volume Hardback Set by D. Graham J. Shipley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Book & Merchandise Condition Brand New Description A collection of the thirty-six most important but less well-known Greek geographical texts in new translations, many of them never before published in English, with up-to-date introductions and notes. This volume will promote a better understanding of the whole of ancient Geography from early Greece to the late Roman period. Publisher Description Ancient Greek geographical writing is represented not just by the surviving works of the well-known authors Strabo, Pausanias, and Ptolemy, but also by many other texts dating from the Archaic to the Late Antique period. Most of these texts are, however, hard for non-specialists to find, and many have never been translated into English. This volume, the work of an international team of experts, presents the most important thirty-six texts in new, accurate translations. In addition, there are explanatory notes and authoritative introductions to each text, which offer a new understanding of the individual writings and demonstrate their importance: no longer marginal, but in the mainstream of Greek literature and science. The book includes twenty-eight newly drawn maps, images of the medieval manuscripts in which most of these works survive, and a full Introduction providing a comprehensive survey of the field of Greek and Roman geography. Author Biography GRAHAM SHIPLEY is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Leicester, and the author of many studies of Greek history that bring together written sources, archaeology, and landscape, such as The Greek World after Alexander (2000) and The Early Hellenistic Peloponnese (Cambridge, 2018). In 2018 he was elected a member of the international association GAHIA, Geography & Historiography in Antiquity.
