Schlumberger Gustave, “L’Epopee byzantine au dixieme siècle”, Paris 1900-1906. 3 volumes in large 4to, pp. 800+653+849. Complete with 1 colour map & richly illustrated, all plates present (many coloured). Schlumberger was an important Byzantinist. In the current work he analyses the events of the years 969-989 (vol.1), the wars against the Bulgarians 989-1018 (vol.2) and the history of the last emperors of the Macedonian dynasty up to 1057 (vol.3). This monumental work on the Byzantine history is still a basic reference. Contemporary burgundy leather over boards,a clean fine set of a scarce work.
