About This Item
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1962 Book. Fine. Soft cover. 1st US Edition. "A desire to recreate Minoan palaces, villas, and houses of the Late Bronze Age inspired the author of this book to undertake an eight year research program that has radically modified our conception of the appearance of Cretan dwellings. He not only interprets the use of the rooms that partially survive but reconstructs the guest suites and banquet halls of the vanished upper storeys. Written both as a preparation for a visit to Crete and as an actual guide to the sites, the book is prefaced with an account of the island's geography, history, and culture in antiquity, and packed with illustrations including photographs, plans, reconstructions, and a map of the island showing the sites" 269p. (plus 68 pages of diagrams and plates].maps. bibliography. index.Crisp tight copy, almost as new..
