Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grèce vers le milieu du quatrième siècle avat l'ère vulgaire

Barthélemy, J.-J. (Jean-Jacques), 1716-1795

xxxii, 765, [1] p. 27 cm

Jean-Jacques Barthélemy  (1716 – 1795) was a French writer and numismatist. Barthélemy was the author of a number of learned works on antiquarian subjects, but the great work on which his fame rests is this work, Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece (French: Voyage du jeune Anarcharsis en Grèce, 4 vols., 1787). He had begun it in 1757 and had been working on it for thirty years. The hero, a young Scythian descended from the famous philosopher Anacharsis, is supposed to repair to Greece for instruction in his early youth, and after making the tour of her republics, colonies and islands, to return to his native country and write this book in his old age, after the Macedonian hero had overturned the Persian empire. In the manner of modern travellers, he gives an account of the customs, government, and antiquities of the country he is supposed to have visited.
