Geographi Graeci Minores: Volume 1 [Greek, Ancient (To 1453)]

Karl Wilhelm Ludwig M ller (1813-94), who wrote in Latin under the name Carolus M llerus, was a German classicist whose monumental five-volume Fragmenta historicorum graecorum (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection) remains an important resource today. Between 1855 and 1861, he also produced this valuable two-volume collection of the works of lesser-known Greek geographers. Volume 1 (1855) contains a variety of Greek texts with parallel Latin translations and extensive footnotes. Works featured in this volume include both the Periplus ('Circumnavigation') of Hanno the Carthaginian and the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax. Also included are Agatharchides' De Mari Erythraeo ('On the Erythraean Sea') and writings by Arrian and Marcian of Heraclea. M ller's extensive prolegomena (also in Latin) discusses what is known about the authors, their works and the manuscript sources.
