Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
In-8° (230x142mm), pp. 16 di catalogo editoriale, XXII, (1) di indice, 182, (1) di errata, cartonatura originale con titolo a stampa su tassello al dorso. Quattro tavv. f.t. incise su rame da Sidney Hall di Londra, ripiegate o su pagina intera. Tra le pp. 40-41, carta ripiegata dell'itinerario seguito da Annibale nel valicare le Alpi; l'itinerario è colorato in giallo ed in rosso, e in coloritura coeva sono anche i laghi di Bourget e di Annecy. In calce sono riportate le indicazioni in miglia romane ed in miglia inglesi. Tra le pp. 26-27, uno schizzo del passaggio del Mont du Chat e della valle sotto La Thuile in un unico foglio non ripiegato; tra le pp. 54-55, schizzo del passaggio da parte di Annibale del passo del Piccolo San Bernardo; infine, tra le pp. 174-175, riproduzione su un unico foglio non ripiegato di un'antica iscrizione votiva rinvenuta sul Mont du Chat e di uno scudo, anch'esso concepito come offerta votiva, in puro argento. Alcuni restauri al dorso. Una firma coeva. Buona copia in barbe. Prima edizione, apparsa in forma anonima, di questo studio storico sul valico delle Alpi da parte di Annibale, dovuto in realtà a John Anthony Cramer (1793-1848), dell'Università di Oxford, con la collaborazione di Henry Lamplugh Wickham (morto nel 1873); vi fu anche chi attribuì la totalità della stesura dell'opera a Wickham. Gli autori, attraverso l'attento vaglio di Livio, Polibio e delle altre fonti antiche, ricostruiscono nei dettagli l'impresa del condottiero cartaginese, confermando come il passaggio delle Alpi dovesse avvenire in corrispondenza col Piccolo San Bernardo, tesi poi avallata anche da Niebuhr e da Mommsen. Gli ultimi capitoli (VII-IX) sono dedicati all'esame delle precedenti ipotesi in merito di Letronne, Folard, St.-Simon, Whitaker. Il lavoro fu salutato al suo apparire dalla Edinburgh Review come a scholarlike work of first rate ability. Manca al Perret. Inglese. Seller Inventory # 11004

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Oxford [England], octavo, xxii, [ii], 40, 182, [2] p., including half-title, errata, engraved folding map with outline hand-color, and three additional lithographed plates and maps. ***CONTENT: Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC was one of the major events of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, and one of the most celebrated achievements of any military force in ancient warfare. He led his army from Spain over the Alps into Italy, bypassing Roman and allied land garrisons, and Roman naval dominance. The exact route of Hannibal's march through the mountains has been much debated by historians. This volume outlines the opinions of Livy, Polybius, and a host of later historians and writers (D'Anville, Gibbon, General Melville, De Luc, etc.); the authors suggest that Hannibal's route to Turin was via the Little St. Bernard Pass. Chapters herein discuss the early historical exploration of the Alps, and describe Hannibal's march through Spain, Gaul, across Mont du Chat, ascent to the summit of the Alps, passage through the Little St. Bernard, descent, the siege and capture of Turin, and more. The exquisite, partly colored topographic map shows Hannibal's suggested route and also that of the authors, and unfolds to 13 by 12 inches. ***CONDITION: This is a complete, near pristine, Fine copy bound in 20th c. tan calf over marbled boards; backstrip with five raised bands and gilt-lettered red and green morocco title labels. The covers are like new, as is the backstrip, with bright, bold lettering. Joints and hinges fully complete, binding firm. Recent endpapers. The text pages are untrimmed and are fresh, clean, crisp and bright, as is the folding map. No foxing or stains. The lithographed plates are also clean, but mild offsetting is present on the opposing text pages. No evidence of previous ownership. This is a very handsome copy of an informative historical treatise. Not in Neate or Perret. International shipping will be extra, but only at my cost. Seller Inventory # OG5502
