Cosmografía en la Antigüedad: Mesopotamia y el Mundo Grecorromano

Abstract

This volume is the first of three books that complete the Second PhD of the distinguished Spanish scholar David Barrado Navascués. In this first work, he pursues tirelessly and with great erudition one of the most elusive topics in Antiquity: the origin, study and conception of cosmography. The analytical focus is limited to Mesopotamia and the Greco-Roman world, providing a meeting point for enthusiasts of cosmography and those who love Ancient History. The academic background of the book is complemented by an easy, entertaining and didactic style, creating a work that is suitable for both experts and the beginner.
