Description
Because of my years with the Gennadius Library, I was thrilled at this acquisition, the kind gift of a Grolier member. Distinguished Greek diplomat, patriot, and passionate bibliophile, John Gennadius (1844-1932) amassed rare books and archives illuminating Hellenic civilization. In 1922, he entrusted his collection to the American School of Classical Studies. As a token of gratitude, the School honored him with this now rare edition printed in 300 copies, of which this is #6
