A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The text printed in the following pages is based upon that of Detlefsen, but free use has been made of both earlier and later critical auxiliaries. We differ from Detlefsen mainly in adhering more closely to the Codex Bambergensis, whose superiority in respect of those parts of the Historia now reproduced must be regarded as incontestable. Our short critical apparatus is limited to notices of our deviations from Detlefsen, or of readings offering special interest or difficulty. For brevitys sake the name of Detlefsen stands in our apparatus not only for his own readings but also for those of the scholars whose views he adopts. In none but a few important cases do we print Detlefsen ssources. I have to thank Mr. Fischer of Bamberg for kindly verifying a number of readings in theB ambergensis, and Dr. Leitschuh, Chief Librarian at Bamberg, for permission to reproduce in facsimile a page of the famous codex. The present text has been prepared under the guidance of Dr. Ludwig Traube, who, moreover, has generously placed at our disposal a number of his own readings or conjectures. Out of the many problems which even this short selection from the Historia Naturalis offers, the Introduction professes to deal only with the question of Pliny sG reek sources for the history of art; it touches upon his Roman authorities only in so far as these were the channel through which the Greek authors reached him.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
