Strabonis Rerum Geographicarum Libri Xvii: Libri 1-3

By Wilhelm Xylander

Strabonis Rerum Geographicarum Libri XVII, presented here in Books 1-3, is a monumental work of ancient geography by Strabo, the Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian who lived from approximately 64 BC to 24 AD. This edition, meticulously compiled and edited, brings together the scholarship of Wilhelm Xylander, Johann Philipp Siebenkees, Karl Heinrich Tzschucke, Friedrich Traugott Friedemann, and Isaac Casaubon, offering a comprehensive exploration of Strabo's writings.

Strabo's "Geography" is not merely a catalog of places but a profound synthesis of historical, cultural, and geographical knowledge. These initial books lay the groundwork for Strabo's vision of the inhabited world, providing insights into the lands, peoples, and customs of his time. For scholars and enthusiasts of classical literature and ancient history, this edition provides invaluable access to one of the most important geographical works of antiquity.
