ISBN: 9781108041959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The antiquary Sir William Gell (1777 1836) was most famous for his two books on the archaeological discoveries at Pompeii (also reissued in this series) but his interest in the topography of classical sites is also reflected in this work, first published in 1823.

Sir William Gell (1777 1836) was a British archaeologist well known for his drawings of sites and objects of classical interest.

Itinerary of the Morea: Being a Description of the Routes of That Peninsula

Classical topographer Sir William Gell (1777 1836) first came to public attention with his Topography of Troy (1804).

He also served, in 1803, on a diplomatic mission to the Ionian Islands;...
