Beschreibung:

Red wrappers. Slightly creased at one corner, otherwise a nice copy. Edition limited to 110 numbered copies. "Herodotus simply knew nothing about dates from Julius Caesar to Edward VII; nor did he care about them. He wrote from a different point of view. He learned nothing from books; everything from personal experience. And, in all his extant writings, there is not a single reference to modern English authorities. He came to England, and wandered about asking questions, especially of the vergers of cathedrals. Then he wrote his History." Halliwell A127. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers TR130243
