First German edition, first published in French in 1788, Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grèce. Abbé J.J. Barthélemy's (1716-1795) magnum opus is fiction, the product of thirty years study of ancient, medieval and modern authors. The work became immense popular and its influence was far greater than that of any other travel account previously published. More than forty editions appeared and translations were made into almost every European language throughout the 19th century. Although there had been earlier attemps to popularize what was known of Greek antiquity, none was so immediately succesful and influential as Barthelemy's Anacharsis, which played an important part in the development both of neo-classicism and philhellenic sentiment in France (Contominas p. 17). - (Age-browned). - A fine set.Fromm 2082; Cf.
