Dionysius Periegetes was an ancient Greek geographer believed to have lived sometime in the 2nd or 3rd-centuries. He is remembered primarily for his description of the known world, believed to be one of the earliest written world geographies. In the 12th-century, Byzantine historian Eustathius of Thessalonica wrote a commentary on Dionysius’s ‘Orbis Descriptio’ who included numerous excerpts from other ancient Greek geographers and historians.

 

This 1688 Greek and Latin edition was collected and edited by William Hill who included numerous folding maps. Two of the maps are particularly desirable – the map of all of Europe and the map of Italy and the Greek Islands.
