Seller's Description:
Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 0890053405. Light soiling.; Unchanged Reprint of 1932. Although the subject of the book is primarily bibliographical, namely, the methods of book making from the date of Homer until the supersession of papyrus by vellum in the fourth century CE, one of its main objects has been to show the bearings of the material and form of books on literary history and criticism, and to consider what new light has been thrown by recent research on the origin and growth of the habit of reading in ancient Greece and Rome. Contents: 1. The use of books in ancient Greece. 2. The papyrus roll. 3. Books and reading at home. 4. Vellum and the codex.; 8.5 x 0.75 x 5.75 Inches; 136 pages.
