Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - This edition of Natali Conti�s Mythologiae is the first complete, fully annotated English translation of the most important mythography published during the Renaissance. Conti�s huge work (over one thousand pages in the original texts) appeared in twenty-seven editions during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and was the most popular handbook of myth for the entire period. Conti provides a comprehensive coverage of the vast range of Greek and Roman myths, and he subjects each myth to a tripartite analysis of its historical, �scientific�, and ethical foundations. Translated into idiomatic English from the Frankfurt 1581 edition, the text is immediately accessible to scholars, students, and the general public. ISBN 9780866983617
