Archäologie

Kunstwissenschaften – Erstausgabe des überhaupt ersten Berichts über archäologischen Funde in Troja. - Borst 3245. - PMM 362: "1870 begann er seine Arbeiten in Hisarlik (Nordwestanatolien, Anm.), legte 1873 in der untersten Schicht gewaltige, durch Feuer zerstörte Befestigungsanlagen frei und entdeckte einen Schatz an Goldschmuck. Was Schliemann tatsächlich entdeckt hatte, ist heute als vorachäische Stadt bekannt, die lange vor der homerischen Stadt existierte, aber er hatte seine ursprüngliche These bewiesen: Hier befand sich der wahre Standort von Troja." Schliemanns Lokalisierung des homerischen Troja gilt noch heute als "der bedeutendste aller archäologischen Funde". - Gleichzeitig erschien ein Atlasband mit 218 photographischen Tafeln. - Vereinzelt stockfleckig, sonst gut erhaltenes Exemplar dieses Pionierwerks.

Science of Art – First edition of the very first report on archaeological finds in Troy, with a large title vignette and some text illustrations in wood engraving. - Borst 3245. - PMM 362: "In 1870 he began his work in Hisarlik (northwest Anatolia, note), in 1873 he uncovered enormous fortifications destroyed by fire in the lowest layer and discovered a hoard of gold jewelry. What Schliemann actually discovered is known today as a pre-Achaean city that existed long before the Homeric city, but he had proven his original thesis: Here was the true location of Troy." Schliemann's localization of Homeric Troy is still considered "the most significant of all archaeological finds." - An atlas volume with 218 photographic plates was published at the same time. - Some foxing, otherwise well preserved copy of this pioneering work.
