De Situ Orbis Libri Tres /: Cum Notis Criticis Et Exegeticis; Volume 1
De Situ Orbis Libri Tres, by Pomponius Mela, is a foundational work of ancient geography. This volume, the first of a comprehensive edition, presents the original Latin text alongside critical and exegetical notes by Carolus Henricus Tzschuckius. Mela's work offers a detailed, though sometimes fanciful, description of the world as it was known to the Romans in the first century AD.
This edition provides invaluable insights into Mela's sources, methods, and the historical context in which he wrote. It remains essential reading for students and scholars of ancient history, classical literature, and the history of geography. This edition helps to illuminate the geographical knowledge and worldview of the Roman Empire, shedding light on the intellectual landscape of the ancient world.
