About This Item
Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society Held at Philadelphia For Promoting Useful Knowledge, Volume 112. "The fifteenth-century Italian merchant and traveler Cyriacus of Ancona... journeyed tirelessly in Italy, Dalmatia, Greece, and the Levant in search of classical inscriptions..., recording his findings... in notebooks which are now almost entirely lost. Much of their content, however, has come down in the derivative form-- sometimes autograph-- of extracts, transcripts, and fragments, and in old prints of lost codices." "Father Edward W. Bodnar... and Professor Charles Mitchell... present a critical edition of the surviving records of two journeys [Cyriacus] made in the Propontis and Northern Aegean in 1444 and 1445, when he inspected such important sites as Cyzicus, Thasos, and Samothrace, as well as many books in monasteries on Mount Athos. The text-- parts of it hitherto unpublished-- is constituted from all the related manuscripts..." 90 pages of typescript, 24 b/w illustrations; 25 cm.; blue printed wraps; slight soiling & darkening to spine; Very Good.
