A propos de cet article

First printing of the first UK edition - profusely illustrated with 78 black and white plates, 47 black and white plans in the text, and one folding map to the rear before the Index. ***Near fine in grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Top edge of page-block stained orange by the publisher, to match the dustwrapper. Head of spine slightly creased. No serious bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. Folding map to rear in fine condition, not torn or creased. Slight off-setting from removed sellotape to front pastedown (this has not torn the paper or board) and across the inner front flap of the dustwrapper. ***In a very good, colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has been neatly corner price-clipped. The dustwrapper is rubbed and slightly creased at the edges, with a tiny closed tear and associated crease to top edge of the front panel, and tiny closed tear and crease to the top of the back panel. Dustwrapper slightly rubbed, with a small area of foxing to the illustration on the front panel. Dustwrapper unfaded. ***222mm x 148mm. 165 pages including Index. ***Chapters: 1. Historical, 2. Mylasa, 3. Around Mylasa, Euromus, Olympus, Chalcetor, Hydae, Peçin Kale, Ceramus, 4. Labraynda, 5. Iasus, 6. Cindya and Bargylia, 7. Stratoniceia, 8. Lagina and Panamara, 9. Halicarnassus, 10. The Myndus Peninsula, Myndus, the Six Lelegian Towns, Caryanda, 11. Syangela-Theangela, 12. Cnidus, 13. The Rhodian Peraea, 14. Caunus, 15. Alabanda, 16. Alinda and Amyzon, 17. Gerga, 18. Tralles and Nysa, Nysa and Acharaca, 19. Aphrodisias, 20. Hierapolis, 21. Laodiceia and Colossae. ***'Readers of Aegan Turkey and Turkey's Southern Shore will acclaim this third volume. It deals with the country south of the river Maeander, the ancient Caria, corresponding closely with the present vilayet of Mugla, "a fascinating country, with a character of its own". ***In The Iliad the Carians appear as allies of the Trojans, "barbarous of speech" - a harshness of dialect characteristic of Mugla today. Liberated by Alexander, fought over by his successors, and involved in the Roman civil wars of the first century B.C., Caria was later to enjoy the peace of the early Roman Empire. ***The larger cities were more or less purely Greek from their foundation, but most of the smaller towns never lost their Carian nature. Among those included are Labraynda, Cnidus, Caunus, Aphrodisias and Hierapolis, all enriched by recent excavation; Stratoniceia, whose ruins attest 'the solidity and magnificence which they once possessed'; Bargylia, remote and desolate; and perhaps most famous of all, Halicarnassus, capital city of Mausolus, whose superb tomb stood for over 1,500 years. ***Professor Bean describes these sites, and many more. Numerous maps, plans, photographs and sketches illustrate the text, written in the incomparable style that marks his previous books.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper).' ***A first edition of this work, in very nice collectable condition. One of four archaeological guides to Turkey written by George Bean. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
