Christian Gottlob Heyne und die Alte Geschichte (BZA 229) (Beitrage Zur Altertumskunde)

Christian Gottlob Heyne (1729-1812) was the most famous classical scholar of his generation and in his extensive oeuvre frequently dealt with topics of ancient history. Besides his own historical researches and numerous reviews communicating the results of international scholarship, there are his attempts to make the knowledge of antiquity fruitful for the modern world. Using a wide variety of material, this book aims to present Heyne's treatment of ancient history in relation to his studies in philology, mythology, antiquities and archaeology, and to determine how this treatment relates to the scholarly or political debate of his time.Heidenreich, Marianne is the author of 'Christian Gottlob Heyne und die Alte Geschichte (BZA 229) (Beitrage Zur Altertumskunde)', published 2006 under ISBN 9783598778414 and ISBN 3598778414.
