"The Atlas" provides the first complete set of maps of the ancient world, both classical and biblical. A full index of names and places, both ancient and modern, accompanies each of the larger maps. For each map there is also an accompanying text, giving sources and authorities for them. This handsome edition is introduced by Richard Talbert, William Rand Kenan Jr.Professor of History and Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and one of the world's foremost scholars of the cartography of the ancient world. Academics, collectors and libraries will welcome the opportunity to acquire a copy of this extremely rare landmark work. |
