AGATHARCHIDES OF CNIDUS & BURSTEIN, STANLEY M (TRANS.)

On the Erythraean Sea

Haklyut Society, London, 1989. Hardcover, 202pp. Minor edge and corner wear to dustwrapper. Otherwise, very good to near fine. Written in the second century B.C., this work is the most important source for an almost forgotten chapter to the history of geographical discovery, the exploration of the Red Sea and the regions surrounding it by agents of the Ptolemaic government of Egypt in the century after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. Although the original text of the On the Erythraean Sea is no longer extant, three abridgements of unequal extent and quality by the first century A.D. geographer Strabo, and the ninth century A.D. Patriarch of Constantinople Photius survive. The present edition contains an English translation of all three examples of this important work together with an introduction and extensive notes analysing the historical background and significance of Agatharchides' book.
