Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Preface -- The Journal which Gibbon began to write on the 4th of August 1761, when he was a captain in the Hampshire militia, and which he kept, on and off, for the next three years until his arrival at Rome on the 2nd of October 1764, was among the papers that, after his death, were sent from Lausanne to Lord Sheffield, his chief executor. -- In his will Gibbon had expressed the desire that some at least of his manuscripts should be published, and entrusted his executors with the necessary selection. Lord Sheffield took upon himself the delicate task. When he had to decide whether the Journal was to be included in the contemplated edition of his friends posthumous works, he felt he might give the public, if not the complete text of what was a private and motley Diary, at least such extracts as formed an account of Gibbons literary occupations. These extracts he gave in the second volume of the Miscellaneous Works (1796). He used a few other passages as notes to the Memoirs of my Life and Writings which he composed by combining into a single narrative the autobiographical fragments also found among the papers sent from Lausanne. In the second edition of the Miscellaneous Works (1814), he added many more extracts to these notes. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Originalleinen kaschiert / Cloth laminated.…
