"It seems probable that Stephanus flourished in Byzantium in the earlier part of the sixth century AD, under Justinian I. Even as an epitome, the Ethnica is of enormous value for geographical, mythological, and religious information about ancient Greece. Nearly every article in the epitome contains a reference to some ancient writer, as an authority for the name of the place." This is the fourth edition with extensive contemporary ms. annotations. The book is found in European libraries, but is very rare in North America. Stock#OB1043. Vg, bound in early marbled boards with elaborately gold tooled leather spine.
