Light rubbing and edgewear to wraps. Else fine. ; This is the final volume of the monumental corpus of more than 12,000 ancient inscriptions from Athens and Attica dating from 403/2 BC to the 3rd cent. AD, edited by Johannes Kirchner between 1912 and 1940 (IG II/III2 , partes 1-4). These are supplemented here by the late-Roman and early-Christian inscriptions from the years between the destruction of Athens by the Heruli (267/68) and the end of the 6th cent. AD. Together with Corinth and Thessalonica, Athens has produced the largest number of Christian inscriptions from the Greek motherland. Particularly notable is the co-existence of pagan and Christian texts well into the 5th cent. The volume contains 422 inscriptions, which have been re-examined and edited, and illustrated on 44 plates. Besides decrees, honorary inscriptions, quotes from the Bible, acclamations, intercessions and blessings, the main contribution comes from 300 funerary inscriptions. Detailed indices provide easy access to the texts. ; Inscriptiones Graecae. Vol. II Et III Editio Altera Pars V; Vol. 2/3.5; Folio 13" - 23" tall; 218 pages
