About This Item
MacMillan, London, 1900. New ed. XVIII,535p. ills.(30 B&W photographs with protective tissue guards, in between pages). Folding map. Original green gilt ornamental titled cloth with green dust wrps. Upper edge gilded. Spine dust wrps gilt titled. Head and tail spine slightly bumped. Ex libris Alice Van Absdale, 21, Febr.1904. Handwritten: 'From Helen Gorrez'. 'This New Edition is framed with a view of still satisfying the demand for the book as a traveller's handbook, somewhat less didactic than the official guide-books, somewhat also, I hope, more picturesque. For that purpose I have added a new chapter on mediaeval Greece, as well as many paragraphs with new information, especially the ride over Mount Erymanthus, pp.343, sqq. I have corrected many statements which are now antiquated by recent discoveries, and I have obliterated the traces of controversy borne by the Second Edition. For the criticisms on the book are dead, while the book survives. To me it is very pleasant that many visitors to Greece have found it an agreeable companion.' (J.P. MAHAFFY in the Preface, p.XIV).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
