In his early work, he wrote extensively about Central America. This included clearly science-fictional stories about near future high-tech jungle war (such as "R&R" and "Salvador") , as well as stories that seemed more in line with magic realism. Many of these, such as "Black Coral" (which concerns an American living on an island off of Honduras) and "The Jaguar Hunter" (the story of a man whose wife's debt forces him to hunt a mythical black jaguar, which his people consider sacred) , explore cultural clashes. Shepard traveled extensively in Central America and lived there for a time. " (from Wikipedia) ; Signed by Author.

While visiting the Naples area, Moryson was most anxious to visit the volcanic land known as the Phlegraean Fields or Terra Laboris, which was much renowned for its salubrious mineral waters and for sites associated with Virgil, Cicero, and other notable figures from Greco-Roman antiquity. Often thwarted in his efforts to identify the sites, Moryson at last exclaimed in despair, The bath commonly called of Cicero, which the Physitians call the bath of Trituli . . . lieght neere the ruins of the Village of Cicero, called his Academy. . I know not whether this village (or rather Palace) had the name of Academy or not for I find in my notes a village of Cicero on the way from Naples to Pozzuoli and likewise the mention of this bath, and his Academy, neere the Lake of Avernus. . . .

Condition: Gut. pp. 215-264, 1 map, 13 figs. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With a dedication by the author to Wolfgang Haase. - Binding rubbed, a bit light-margined, otherwise very clean. - From the text: Throughout the nineteenth century, and perhaps even later, many informed tourists visiting the legendary Phlegraean Fields near Naples counted among the by-gone glories of this area a lighthouse on a promontory at Capo Miseno. It was said to have guided sailors, merchants, and pleasure seekers into the bays and harbors which characterized this part of the Italian coast during the heyday of Roman dominion in the Mediterranean. Unknown to these tourists, however, no evidence survives to indicate that such a lighthouse ever existed in classical antiquity. Rather, the Misenene lighthouse seems to have been the creation of a series of mistaken associations by late antique/early medieval scholiasts who commented on passages from classical authors: in particular, Virgil, Horace, and Juvenal. This study will atttempt to unravel the tangled ancient and medieval evidence that led to the creation of the apocryphal lighthouse, and trace how the existence of a lighthouse at the site became an established tradition during the proto-humanistic activity of the fourteenth century. It will then follow the mutations of the tradition in later accounts of the region. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Offprint, stapled in paper cover.

Édition originale des deux parties publiées à trois ans d'intervalle, très rarement réunies en un volume relié à l'époque.« Le Moïse voyageur ou image de l'Église militante du Père Antoine Millieu (Lyon 1574 - Rome 1646), recteur du collège de la Trinité à Lyon, bien qu'il soit aussi, mais d'une façon différente, un fruit de l'obéissance, inspire de l'intérêt par sa destinée, qui n'est pas sans analogie avec celle du héros hébreu, et par le caractère naïf de l'auteur. Ce poème à peine naissant (il n'avait encore qu'un chant), ne s'étant pas trouvé parmi les poésies de Milieu, échappa au naufrage général auquel il les condamna durant une maladie qu'il croyait mortelle. Revenu à la santé, les instances de ses confrères, celles de l'archevêque de Lyon et les ordres de ses supérieurs le déterminèrent à achever ce poème. Il y fut encouragé, dit-il, par les nombreux motifs qu'il pensa devoir trouver « dans ce long et laborieux voyage de Moïse,pour hâter sa propre course vers le ciel. » Mais Moïse ne parut que sous bonne escorte ; il fut accompagné d'une dédicace à l'archevêque de Lyon dont la protection lui permettra de flotter sans danger dans sa corbeille de papyrus » (Vissac, De la Poésie latine en France au siècle de Louis XIV, p. 73).Beau spécimen de reliure décorée du temps aux armes non identifiées.
