Original Dark Blue Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. 1954. Reprint in two volumes (the first edition was in 1927). xvi, 402pp.; vi, 366pp. Eusebius of Caesarea (c.260/265-339) was a historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist from the Roman province of Syria Palaestina. In about AD 314 he became the bishop of Caesarea Palaestina. He wrote many works, of which one of the best known is his 'Ecclesiastical History', also known as The History of the Church and The Church History, a chronological account of the development of Early Christianity from the 1st century to the 4th century. The Martyrs of Palestine relates the persecution of Christians in Caesarea under Roman Emperor Diocletian. The work survives in two forms, a shorter recension which formed part of his Ecclesiastical History, and a longer version, discovered only in 1866. Eusebius was present in Caesarea at the time of the persecutions he recounts. The present edition is in two volumes. The first volume contains a translation of the ten books of the Ecclesiastical History, and also the two recensions of the Martyrs of Palestine. The second volume contains an introduction and extensive notes by the translators, and an index. The two volumes are uniformly bound in the original dark blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spines. The cases of the books are in very good condition with shelf wear and some light soiling to the boards. The bottom of the spines are lightly bumped and there is heavier bumping to the top corner of the front board of volume 1. The publisher's details on the bottom of the spines is worn. The contents are tight and clean with browning to the free endpapers. There is no inscription. PLEASE NOTE: This is a fairly heavy set and extra postage may apply for delivery outside the UK.

The dust jacket has edge wear, and scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; This book accompanies a major V&A exhibition that explores three hundred years of mutual fascination between East and West, a period of discoveries, encounters and exchanges initiated by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama''s discovery of a sea route to India in 1948. This established, for the first time, direct relations between Europe and maritime Asia and ushered in a dynamic period of commercial, artistic and technological exchange. This compelling story is presented through wide-ranging essays by leading international scholars, including specialists from the V&A. The text is complemented by a sumptuous range of images, many of these remarkable and luxurious pieces being published for the first time. Discoveries, the book''s opening section, examines the western fascination for the materials and technologies of Asia, which existed even before direct contact was established, and charts the route that early Europeans took to the Indies and the new, sophisticated worlds they found there. Encounters, the second section, looks at the human dimension of the story, the meeting of peoples from East and West in different spheres, from highly formalised court audiences to intimate relationships. The exotic visitors from the West aroused much curiosity in Asia as demonstrated in the many Asian depictions of foreigners and their ships. This section also explores how these pale-skinned, strangely dressed peoples were perceived in the East and how images of them were appropriated into existing Asian iconographies. The final section, Exchanges, explores cross-influences in taste, technology and trade. In Europe there was an immediate demand for luxuries such as porcelain, lacquer and textiles made in Asia but suited to western living. In Asia, it was European technology that was most sought after. Clocks, guns, maps and lenses were all imported and simulated by different Asian cultures. In its close examination of the relationships diplomatic, religious and personal between East and West, this book provides both an important scholarly record of this vibrant period in world history and a beautiful document of the works of art and industry that it produced.

Early printing of this Everyman's Library's compilation of the author's collected non-fiction work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by John Leonard. "I have been trying forever to figure out why [Didion's] sentences are better than mine or yours . . . Something about [their] cadence. They come at you, if not from ambush, then in gnomic haikus, ice pick laser beams, or waves. Even the space on the page around these sentences is more interesting than it ought to be, as if to square a sandbox for a Sphinx" (John Leonard).
