Condition: Gut. S. 741-743. Dalla biblioteca del Prof. Wolfgang Haase, storico editore dell'ANRW e dell'International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Con dedica del recensore. - Nome del recensore scritto a mano sulla prima pagina, per il resto pulito. - Dal testo: La pubblicazione, in Italia finalmente di un edizione dawero compléta délia Periegesi di Pausania, deve essere salutata con particolare compiacimento; e non per una considerazione nazionalistica owiamente da respingere, ma perché essa dimostra la vitalità ancora profonda degli studi di tradizione greca nonostante lapparente mutamento di rotta che, non si puô negarlo, si è verificato dopo lultimo grande conflitto mondiale in Italia, nel campo dellantichistica. Che un gruppo di studiosi si trovi riunito, per delineare in lutta la sua portata enciclopédica del tempo in cui è stata creata uno-pera come quella pausaniana, induce a pensare che, contro le apparenze, il mondo greco nella sua più vasta accezione interessi Lambiente culturale storico-archeologico italiano. I nomi dei collaboratori sono già annunciati, anche se per ora soltanto il primo volume è edito, e sono quelli di storici come Domenico Musti, Gian-franco Maddoli, Mauro Moggi, e di archeologi quali Luigi Beschi (il più héllénisant, forse, di tutti), di Salvatore Settis, di Mario Torelli. Tut-ta lopéra sarà in sette volumi, poichè il III comprenderá i libri III e IV, il IV i libri V e VI, il V i libri VII e VIII, il VII i libri IX e X. Sprache: Italienisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

[Full collation available.] With a lithographed frontispiece, 2 folding engraved maps, 2 lithographed plates, a folding letterpress plate printed in red and black, and 14pp. (27, 69, 109, 139, 140, 142, 143, 145, 186, 195, 199, 216, 233, 267) printed in red and black. Bound in the publisher's green cloth. Author and title gilt to the spine between scrollwork gilt. Yellow glazed end-papers. Spine sunned, and a little cocked. Some bumps to the extremities, with little splits to the headpiece. Some patches of foxing, concentrated at the plates, and some mild even tanning at the upper edge of the text-block. Damp-stain to the upper spine-corner of the frontispiece. Inscribed by the author on the half-title-page, subscribed by the recipient, T[homas] Gaisford. ALS from the author to Gaisford tipped in to the recto of the front free end-paper. Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) came from a distinguished family: youngest son of Christopher Wordsworth, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge; nephew of the poet William Wordsworth; brother to the Trinity Classicist John Wordsworth and of Charles Wordsworth, Bishop of St. Andrews. He himself was a distinguished man of letters, and would go on to be Bishop of Lincoln (from 1869 to his death). In the year of publication, Wordsworth was appointed Public Orator at Cambridge and Headmaster of Harrow. Before his brilliant career in England, the author spent 1832-1833 traveling in Greece. Unlike so many of the Grand Tourists that preceded him, he was already a serious Classicist. He was able, therefore, to compare his findings against the accounts of travelers ancient (Pausanias, Strabo and others) and modern (Wheeler, Stuart & Revett, Cockerell) as well as literary accounts (poets, orators). Athens and Attica anticipates his larger Greece (1839) and stands at the beginning of the XIXc English tradition of Classical scholarship that embraces all categories of evidence: literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources. Wordsworth was an unusually gifted epigrapher, with his inscriptions being both faithfully recorded and well printed, with red characters indicating his supplements for perished letters. Athens and Attica was Wordsworth's first book-length publication (there were some earlier prize poems and orations), and so it is understandable that he should have sent it to one of the giants of his field: Thomas Gaisford (1779-1855), at the time Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford (the rough equivalent of the senior endowed chair in an American university). Gaisford or a descendant -- the volume was purchased at the 2021 sale of the library of Howth Castle, where Gaisford's descendents lived (Fonsie Mealy, 22 September 2021, lot 465) -- tipped in the letter that accompanied the volume. Written from Harrow (dated Jan. 22. 1838), Wordsworth thanks Gaisford for sending him his Scriptores Latini rei metricĉ (Oxford: OUP, 1837), and for accepting a pupil to reside at Christ Church (where the Regius Professor is a Student (i.e., teaching member), and of which Gaisford would go on to be Dean (i.e., head)). The letter is subscribed humbly: "I take the liberty of enclosing a trifle, which I have just printed, and of which I beg your acceptance.".

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Gift inscription in ink to ffep from author to Jenifer Neils. Minor edgewear and faint creasing to wraps. ; Important scientific catalogue, Italian only, showing the 53 vases and fragments of the Greek not Attic black-figure pottery originally forming part of the valuable collection that Mario Astarita donated to Pope Paul VI in 1967. The classification, resulted from a complex historical and archival research, although concerning the less conspicuous part of the collection, has experienced considerable difficulties both for the heterogeneity of the finds that compose it, and for the lack of data on their origins. The finds, in prevalence of Corinthian production, are divided by class and analyzed for type and shape, even including factories that are not identifiable. Much of the volume is dedicated to the vessel that takes the name of the collection, the "Astarita Crater", highlighting not only the archaeological and scientific prestige but also the literary and artistic value. The critical cards offer meticulous descriptions of the iconographic themes and decorations, analysis of the material and of the state of conservation, unpublished reconstructions and hypotheses of attribution, as well as a thorough bibliographical apparatus. Following the cards, there is the scheme of concordances between the various classification of vessels and fragments. Particularly valuable are the tables closing the volume that show the 53 artifacts in detail. ; Vasi Antichi Dipinti Del Vaticano; 144 pages; Signed by Author.
