About This Item
Hardback. Good. SPCK, London, 1907; 4to, 190 x 260mm, pp [xii], 1 - 480; 100 pphotographic plates or other ilustrations; red buckram, spine gilt, bevelled edges, uncut and occasionally unopened; head and foot of spine a little frayed, spine somewhat sunned but otherwise a good or better copy. ... ... ... ... ... The authors present the work as bringing up to date the discoveries and interpretations made of the area since the publication of Maspero's "Histoire Ancienne des Peuples de l'Orient Classique" (1899). In consequence, they explain, the approach taken is geographic rather than chronological which at the same time indicating something of the chronological dimension of the events in question. ... ... ... ... ... The book weighs almost 2kg and will therefore require a carriage supplement for all overseas orders. It's possible that this may also be the case with UK domestic orders.
