1547 Diodorus Siculus on Alexander the Great Trojan War Prince of Lichtenstein!

1547 Diodorus Siculus on Alexander the Great Trojan War Prince of Lichtenstein!

Diodorus Siculus was an ancient Greek historian from the first century B.C. primarily remembered for one surviving work: ‘Bibliotheca historica’. This work is notable for containing a history of early Macedonia, a description of the Trojan War, as well as the conquests and eventual death of Alexander the Great. This 1547 Venice edition of Diodorus’s account of Alexander the Great is incredibly rare and valuable much in part to the impressive provenance! (see below).
