A propos de cet article

Notes on Herodotus. Second Edition. London: George Bell & Sons, 1876. Issued as part of Bohn?s Philological Library. Octavo, in the publisher?s original dark blue cloth, boards stamped with an embossed circular device and spine lettered in gilt. Includes the folding frontispiece color map, ?Map of the World according to Herodotus,? present and intact.

A substantial nineteenth-century scholarly commentary by Dawson W. Turner, drawing from the principal classical commentators and offering extensive linguistic, historical, and geographical notes on Herodotus? Histories. The work reflects the rigorous Victorian philological approach to Greek historiography and was intended for advanced students and scholars of classical literature.

Condition:
Very Good?. Binding sound and square. Pages clean and unmarked. Minor wear to cloth, including a small tear along the side of the spine and light edge wear. Previous owner?s inscription to the front free endpaper dated 1903, followed by a contemporary publisher?s or bookseller?s remark. Folding map present, intact, and well preserved. An attractive and honest example of a serious nineteenth-century academic reference work.

Collector?s Note:
Bohn?s Philological Library was among the most respected English scholarly series of the nineteenth century, publishing authoritative classical texts and commentaries for serious academic use. Turner?s Notes on Herodotus represents a careful Victorian synthesis of earlier scholarship, produced at a time when classical studies occupied a central place in British intellectual life. Copies retaining the original publisher?s cloth and the folding color map are increasingly uncommon, and remain sought after by collectors of classical scholarship, Victorian academic publishing, and Herodotean studies.
