Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an exciting new theory regarding the central piece in the perplexing mosaic known as the Alexander Mosaic. This stunning masterpiece depicts a victorious cavalryman charging into battle, with a fallen foe lying at his feet and a horde of opposing soldiers and horses fleeing. The author presents a fresh take on the scene, interpreting it as an event from the Battle of Arbela, not the Battle of Issus, as was previously believed. The mosaic, likely created shortly after Alexander the Great's death, captures the decisive moment when Alexander's victory over King Darius III of Persia was all but assured. The book masterfully intertwines historical accounts with meticulous analysis of the artwork, demonstrating that the scene portrayed is not, in fact, a singular event, as previously believed, but rather an amalgamation of several pivotal moments from that historic battle. This enlightening perspective adds depth to our understanding of one of antiquity's most famous conflicts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive overview of libraries and the essential role they play in preserving and organizing knowledge throughout history. The author begins by examining the evolution of libraries from ancient times to the present day, exploring their origins in Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and tracing their transformation into the vast repositories of knowledge we know today. The book delves into the intricate systems used to classify and catalog books, providing valuable insights into the principles that govern how libraries organize and manage their collections. It also examines the important role of librarians as gatekeepers of knowledge, discussing the skills and expertise required to navigate the complex world of library resources. Beyond its historical and technical aspects, the book explores the profound impact that libraries have had on human civilization. It argues that libraries are not merely storehouses of books but dynamic centers of learning and intellectual exchange. By providing access to a vast array of ideas and perspectives, libraries empower individuals to expand their knowledge, challenge conventional wisdom, and contribute to the advancement of society. Through a combination of historical analysis, practical guidance, and philosophical reflection, this book illuminates the enduring importance of libraries as guardians of our collective knowledge and as catalysts for human progress. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of knowledge, the organization of information, or the transformative power of libraries.

Rilegato. Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. Napoli, Dalla Tipografia di Angelo Trani, 1827. In-8° (23,2 cm x 14 cm). Pp. 178, (2). 1 grande tavola a p.p. incisa raffigura in modo curioso le 10 specie di cetacei che si pensava conoscere all' epoca. Segnatura: [1]/8, 2-11/8, 12/4. Bella legatura del '900 in mezza pelle bordeaux con angoli, autore e titolo doratii sul dorso ornato. Esemplare fresco e genuino, ancora in barbe. Prima ed unica edizione di questa interessantissima testimonianza storica del dotto sacerdote molisano nativo di Montefalcone. L' Autore ci racconta di una balena avvistata a poco più di nove miglia al largo di Otranto e ritrovata morta, in seguito ad incagliamento, il 5 maggio 1827 nei pressi di Andrano in località la Botte. In un primo momento, scrive il Sanchez, la sagoma del grosso cetaceo fu scambiata per i resti di una grande barca naufragata ma solo quando il fetore della carcassa in decomposizione cominciò ad appestare tutta la zona circostante si capì la vera natura. Fu proprio il cattivo odore che convinse gli amministratori del luogo a liberare dagli scogli e tirar fuori dall' acqua il corpo del cetaceo ma per procedere a tale operazione bisognò tagliarlo in pezzi. Dal suo grasso, continua l' autore, fu estratta una gran quantità di olio che lo stesso enumera in novecento cantaje, pari a circa ottanta tonnellate, mentre le sue gigantesche e pesantissime ossa furono raccolte e messe da parte. Il teschio, però, fu preso in custodia dal barone di Spongano don Gennaro Bacile e caricato su un grosso carro tirato da sei robusti buoi oltre a quaranta villani per poi poter essconsegnato al Museo di Zoologia di Napoli nella mani di Luigi Petagna che fu il primo direttore di questa celebre ed illustre istituzione partenopea. La colossale grandezza del cetaceo attirò numerosi curiosi tra i quali diversi naturalisti interessati a identificare la sua specie di appartenenza. Dalle misurazioni effettuate sul luogo, anche se molto imprecise così come lamentò lo stesso Petagna che aveva ricevuto le relazioni e i disegni, l' animale si presentava effettivamente come un gigante dal corpo a forma di cilindro irregolare. Esso misurava, senza la coda, oltre ventisette metri per un' altezza di circa nove mentre spaventevole era la sua bocca che terminava leggermente in punta. Così come scriveva nel suo rapporto il sindaco di Andrano, Villani Domenico Maria, al posto dei denti aveva dei barbigli lunghi poco più di un metro legati alla base della mascella superiore e dentro il palato, mentre degli altri di color nero e all' incirca di due metri sporgevano fuori dalla bocca. Si trattava di un esemplare maschio la cui lunghezza del sesso oltrepassava i due metri e le gonadi, sempre secondo il rapporto del sindaco, corrispondevano a due barili della capacità di 240 litri l' uno. La pelle era liscia e di color bruno ad eccezione del ventre che appariva bianco e per tutta la lunghezza solcato da increspature profonde all' incirca trenta centimetri. In un primo momento si pensò che questo cetaceo fosse una balena franca e ciò sia per la gran quantità di olio ricavata dal suo grasso e sia perché di questa specie furono rinvenuti diversi esemplari nel Mediterraneo come quello di una femmina, nel 1620, rimasta incagliata nelle secche della Corsica e lunga ben trentatré metri. Altri studiosi, invece, sostennero che si trattava di un capodoglio sia perché i suoi barbigli non erano tutti della stessa lunghezza, sia per l' assenza della pinna caudale e sia perché sul ventre non presentava le tipiche macchie marmoree della balena franca. Il capidoglio, aggiungevano gli stessi studiosi, era un frequentatore abituale del Mediterraneo e non di rado erano stati avvistati esemplari di oltre ventisette metri come quello del 1787 rinvenuto sulla spiaggia di Forìa d' Ischia e morto dopo esser stato colpito da una palla di cannone sparata da un naviglio russo, o come quello del 1821 avvistato nel golfo di Napoli e poi dopo parecchi giorni ritrovato morto nelle acque della della Sardegna.…
