A History of Classical Scholarship: From the Sixth Century Bc to the End of the Middle Ages: From the Sixth Century B.C.to the 19th Century - Rilegato
Embracing the history of all classical literary scholarship - 'the study of the language, literature, and art of Greece and Rome, and of all that they teach us as to the nature and history of man' - from the sixth century BC to the start of the twentieth century, Sandys's account is the sole attempt there has been to give a full detailed history that covers much of the western world.
Sandys gathers a phenomenal range of scholarship, including Latin, French, German, Dutch and Italian sources, often from personally consulting the manuscripts and early works of classical scholars. From these he constructs his History into 12 different ages and localities, spanning an amazing twenty-five centuries. Each period begins with a chronological table of the scholars of each period, giving their dates of birth and death, followed by a survey of the lives and works of all the leading scholars. Sandys gives an insight into the political history of each period, and always traces the influence on the arts and letters of the modern world.
As well as being an astonishing work of erudition, Sandys's History is an eminently readable account, accessible to a wide readership. It remains unsurpassed since first publication and belongs in all library collections.
--includes studies of Italy, Greece, France, Scandinavia, Russia, Holland, Belgium, Germany, USA and UK
--84 illustrations, including nearly 60 portraits
--bibliography of source materials, comprehensive index and Greek index
--appeals not just to students of the classics but all those interested in the history of humanism
