Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical analysis of the Roman author Pliny the Elder's encyclopedic work, Natural History. By comparing Pliny to his major source, the Greek author Theophrastus, the author argues that Pliny used Theophrastus as a primary source for his descriptions of trees in Books 12 and 13 of his Natural History but that he did so in a haphazard and disorganized way. The author's close examination of the texts reveals that Pliny often misunderstood or misrepresented Theophrastus, leading to errors and omissions in his own work. This book is notable for its rigorous scholarship and its insights into the methods of ancient authors and the transmission of knowledge in the ancient world. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282745103_0
