Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. An excellent copy in great condition. Only faint wear to cover. All pages clean, crisp and fresh. Publisher's note: Pliny's Naturalis Historia - a Brilliant and Sophisticated Encyclopaedia of the Scientific, Artistic, Philosophical, Botanical and Zoological Riches of the Ancient World - Has Had a Long Career in the Footnotes of Historical Studies. This Is a Phenomenon Born of the Sense That the Work Was There to Consult, or to 'use', as a Resource to Aid Investigation of Specific Technical Issues or Passages, of Quellenforschung, or of Delimited Topic Areas. The Contributors to the Present Volume Both Represent and Join a New Generation of Critics Who Have Begun to Try to 'read' This Monumental Text, and - by Examining the Dominant Motifs Which Give Shape and Order to the Work - to Construct Frameworks Within Which We May Understand and Interpret Pliny's Overarching Agenda.
