PHOCION ROCQUE: Athenes. Paris 1869 First edition. In 8vo (18x12 cm). Publisher’s paper covers, rubbed; spine opened. Text clean and bright. Complete: 333 p. [8], with 8 engraved views and 1 folding map, as called for. Overall in good condition. Roque’s lengthy account on Athens is conceived as a continuation and critical examination of William Martin Leake’s seminal work on the topography of Athens. It is a significant contribution to the history of the geography of Attica, and among the very first works to correctly identify many sites within Athens and its surrounding areas. A valuable and early study on Athenian topography.
