Voyage Du Juene Anacharsis - 1830
Love this book of maps and images of ancient Greece. See great images of the Parthenon and Greek coins and costumes. The book was a supplement to one of the first historical novels, written by Jean-Jacques Barthélemy, who was “…a French scholar who became the first person to decipher an extinct language. He deciphered the Palmyrene alphabet in 1754 and the Phoenician alphabet in 1758.” Image of Barthelemy below from Wikipedia.“Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece was a fictional work about the travels of the Scythian named Anacharsis in Greece in the middle of the 4th century BCE, written by Jean-Jacques Barthélemy and published in 1788.”Image of Anacharsis below from Wikipedia.
