Thames and Hudson, London, 1962. 268p. Richly ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Cloth wrps. Name and date on free endpaper. Nice copy. 'This is one of the more distinguished additions to the Peoples and Places series. Cooks surveys the history, thought, and art of the Greeks in Ionia and the East from the Late Bronze Age to the Roman period. The subject does not offer a clear unity of material, topographically of culturally, and as a result the book is really two in one. The first is really about East Greece - not just Ionia - and here the reader gets the full value of the author's personal experience of the ground and of the problems of its archaeology and history. The archeological parts are especially good (...). Apart from the relations of the East Greeks with their immediate neighbors the story of the Greeks in the East is really another matter. (...) Various new points are well made throughout the book; many provoke thought, a very few criticism. (...) There is a fascinating digression (pp.191 ff.) on by-laws about drainage and rubbish disposal in Pergamon.' (JOHN BOARDMAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1964, pp.82-83).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity

Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
