The Ruins of Palmyra by Robert Wood PDF Summary

Book Description: "Wood's Palmyra and Balbec were first printed in 1753 and 1757, respectively, in simultaneous English and French editions. (For the circumstances of publication, see the Introduction below.) Both were republished in a single volume in 1827 (London: William Pickering); and reprinted in separate volumes in 1971 (Westmead: Gregg International). No manuscript of the texts is known to survive, but Borra's drawings for the plates are preserved in the collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects (see, e.g., Figure 7 in the Introduction below). The present text is based on the original English editions of 1753 and 1757. Orthography and capitalization have been modernised, punctuation has not. Toponyms and names of historical figures have been modified to reflect current English usage. Wood's references to other authors, ancient and modern, are highly abbreviated, and are here reprinted as found. However, passages directly quoted from ancient authors have been updated by reference to more recent editions: the Loebs for Diodorus Siculus, the Historia Augusta, Pliny, and Strabo; Dindorf (1832) for the Chronicon Paschale; Mommsen (1868) for the Digest; Rougé (1966) for the Expositio totius mundi et gentium; Lightfoot (2003) for Lucian's On the Syrian Goddess; Willis (1994) for Macrobius; and Thurn (2000) for Malalas. Citations, by book and chapter when appropriate, have been supplied {in braces}. Internal cross-references have been updated to reflect the pagination of the present volumes. References in the Introduction give the pagination, first of the original editions, then of the present volumes."--
