Opis

This is the long-awaited second volume of a magisterial commentary on the work of the historian Arrian. It deals in depth with a crucial period (329-326 BC) of the reign of Alexander the Great, discussing some of the earliest datable evidence for the history of Central Asia and Pakistan, and analyzing Alexander's views of sovereignty and divinity.

Recenzje

The reviewer has been taught much by the book ... we have here a substantial and rewarding work of erudition ... Sound scholarship endures. B. has made use of Chr. Lassen's excellent Indische Altertumskunde, now more than a century and a quarter old: likewise, it is rational to hope that still in the twenty-second century B's fine Commentary will be read and pondered by serious students of history, literature, and antiquities.
