[ΣΤΡΑΒΩΝ] STRABONIS RERUM GEOGRAPHICARUM Libri XVII / Editio Stereotypa, Sumtibus et Typis Car. Tauchnitii, Lipsiae, 1829. Two (out of three) volumes, in 16mo, p. [2], 407, [1]; [2], 467, [1]. The influential Greek geographer who travelled widely, studied under both Aristotelian and Stoic teachers, and spent some decades in Rome, wrote his work early in the first century. Along with the less-known geographers Aratus and Geminus, Strabo promulgated the idea that the torrid zone of the spherical globe was occupied throughout its length by an ocean which divided his continent from another antipodal one in the southern hemisphere. The "Geographies" of Strabo were by far the most important source for ancient geography. Text in Ancient Greek. Original paper covers, visibly worn along extremities; heavy foxing and spatial spotting throughout, but clean and rather tight. Good copy.
