$a The translation was published simultaneously by Didot, Quillau and Nyon. According to Graesse, it was based on the Latin version of Romolo Quirino Amaseo (1489-1552). The three notes on battles are by 'Follart', i.e. Jean-Charles, chevalier de Folard. The frontispiece is signed as designed by Humblot and engraved by G. Scotin; the four plates are signed as engraved by J. Rigaud; the three maps are captioned as prepared by Philippe Buache from notes by G. Delisle. |

$a We owe to Pausanias's 'Tour of Greece' many detailed descriptions of ancient Greek monuments and works of art, particularly those of the 5th and 4th centuries B. C., which he most admired. Among sculptors and painters whose work he describes are Phidias, Alcamenes, Nicias and Polygnotus; and among his favourite sites are Athens (the Propylæa of the Acropolis), Olympia (the temples of Zeus and Hera), Epidauros (the theatre), Delphi, Bassæ, Amyclæ and Tegea. His accounts are a fascinating source for art historians, and indispensible to archæologists. This French translation is supported by three maps, a plate showing the Olympic stadium and three plates showing battles (Messenia, Ithome and Mantinea); the last three are furnished with notes by Folard. Thomas Taylor's English translation, The Description of Greece, appeared in 1794 (ESTC T95854). |
