Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xx, 544 pp. Most users will be in search of this volume's detailed bibliographical information, but a contemporary review of the first edition was concerned to note its more general interest : "This opulent and careful work, though modestly offering itself merely as a bibliography, upon closer scrutiny proves - especially through its long Introduction - to be a welcome contribution to a better understanding of the part played by the Eternal City in the culture of Europe from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century. We are made aware through the author's analysis of the ''guide " - the guide-books of Rome, written almost exclusively in Italian - published since the invention of printing, how closely these books, great and small, follow the changes in the intellectual life.[The book's] value is enhanced by additional detailed treatment of books on the topography of Rome (from Albertini's "Opusculum de mirabilibus Novae et Veteris Urbis Romae," 1510, to Nibby's "Topografia fisica del suolo di Roma," 1838 ff., and especially to Platner, Bunsen and others' "Beschreibung der Stadt Rom," 1829-42), of the "guide" meant exclusively for pilgrims, of several didactic works, and of the contributions of great antiquarians. The "Closing Remarks" concisely integrate the books discussed with the regnant intellectual forces.It is to be hoped that this admirable study will find its way into the hands not merely of historians of civilization, historians of art, and archaeologists, but of lovers of Rome outside of the world of scholarship. It will prove of interest to all these groups." Edges of textblock slightly marked, otherwise Good. Seller Inventory # ABE-52316
