"Originally published in 1864 as as 'La Cite? Antique, ' this remarkable work describes society as it existed in Greece during the age of Pericles and in Rome at the time of Cicero. Working with only a fraction of the materials available to today's classical scholar, Fustel de Coulanges fashioned a complete picture of life in the ancient city, resulting in a book impressive today as much for the depth of its portrait as for the thesis it presents. In 'The Ancient City, ' Fustel argues that primitive religion constituted the foundation of all civic life... 'The Ancient City' rightly takes its place alongside a number of pioneering works of the late nineteenth century that offered radically new interpretations of ancient society and culture. Indeed, modern anthropology, as well as classics, owes a debt to Fustel de Coulanges, whose early insights in 'The Ancient City' remain valid and provocative today." Reprint of the 1873 translation by Willard Small. 396p.A tight unmarked vintage paperback. Book

EXTREMELY RARE collection of 51 engravings, originally collected by Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second President of the State of Israel. The engravings were originally produced in the 19th century, and reprinted for this undated book. There is no information given about the identity of the artists nor the date of printing of these reproductions, but they are likely to have been printed in the late 1960's - the years in which the Israeli Publishing Institute was active. The book contains all 51 engravings listed in its index. All engravings are in b&w, and depict dramatic landscape art and the daily life in the 19th-century Hold Land. Each engraving is mounted inside a separate plate with a window at the front. The 51 plates are loose inside a cardboard case, which also contains a short introduction (unsigned) and three index pages. The index gives some explanation about each image. 285x235mm. Unpaginated, with a title page, 1 introduction page, 3 index pages, and the aforementioned 51 engravings mounted on separate plates. Tan faux-parchment cardboard folder case with illustrated title sticker on front. Case is in shoddy condition, with all corners worn, most edges worn, and all hinges broken detached from each other. All pages and plates in excellent condition with very mild yellowing and a few very-slightly bent corners. Plate 21 is creased, though the engraving itself is not creased nor damaged. [SUMMARY]: Despite considerable deterioration in the state of its outer casing, this relatively unknown collection of extremely-rare 19th-century engravings is internally in excellent condition.
