About This Item

First and only edition. Very rare imprint (only six paper copies found in Worldcat). A biography of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) compiled by an anonymous author for this ‘‘Bulaq’’ edition. The book consists of two parts, the first one dedicated to Alexander’s early years, the death of his father Philip II of Macedon, and the beginning of Alexander’s reign; the second part narrates Alexander’s conquest of the Persian Empire. The book also includes Alexander’s best speeches to his army and people, the author’s comments on Macedonia and its people, and a short glossary of Greek gods and heroes.

About Globus Rare Books & Archives

Globus Books is an independent San Francisco-based bookshop and a member of the American Booksellers' Association and the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America and has been in business since 1971. It was opened originally by Vladimir Azar as a shop for the Russian emigre public of the Bay Area. A small press operated there in the 1970s under the same name in the same building. Now, 50+ years in business, the shop still occupies the same premises with continued success.

Our team has many decades of experience helping to build many institutional and private collections across the USA and the world and we have seen and handled many important antiquarian items and collections.
We issue monthly catalogues with the newest acquisitions available for our subscribers.
We participate in many US and International antiquarian book fairs. Follow us on social media to receive the latest news and offers.
