About This Item

Edinburgh: Printed For T.Cadell, 1791. First Edition. Publication of the English translation preceded that of the original French version by nine years. The French astronomer and archaeologist served as secretary to the Comte de Choiseul-Gouffier, the French ambassador in Constantinople, and it was during that time that he explored and mapped the Troad, a historical region in northwestern Anatolia which was the setting for Homer’s Greek myth of the Trojan War. Le Chevalier situated Troy at Bunabarshi, a short distance south of Hisarlik, the currently accepted location, and his determination was generally viewed as correct until 1860. Blackmer 993. 4to. pp. 1 p.l., [v]-xv, [1], 154, [10]index. lacking half-title? large folding double-page engraved map & 3 smaller engraved maps & plans (1 folding, 1 double-page). contemporary half calf (very worn, covers detached, leather on spine wanting, some foxing to plates & adjacent leaves). elala6094
