Ancient History

4,000 Years of Greek History and Civilization (Greek Lands in History series), very numerous illustrations from colour photographs (with a few period b&w photographs and reproductions of engravings), coloured maps, text and captions entirely in English, list of abbreviations (in fact a bibliography), notes and index, 572 pp, red imitation leather in d/w,  one-centimetre tear to bottom front corner of d/w, otherwise in very good condition, Ekdotike Athenon (Athens) 1983

29.1 x 22.3 cm, 2480g, ISBN 9 60213 082 2

An extremely detailed and comprehensive history, with contributions from the leading scholars of the day (see the contents list and specimen page below).

Now out of print and, given the quality of the glazed paper and the book’s lavish production standards, very unlikely ever to be reprinted.

This copy was clearly presented to its previous owner – see below the rather charming inscription pasted on to the front free endpaper.
