Two volumes. With a preface by Piero Treves (1911-1992), historian, Professor at the universities of Trieste, Florence and Venice. A student of Gaetano De Sanctis, Treves graduated from the University of Rome in 1931 with a thesis on Demosthenes and Greek freedom, later published in 1933. Due to his anti-fascist stance and the 1938 racial laws, he was forced into exile in England, where he worked for the BBC and continued his scholarly activity. After returning to Italy in the postwar years, he published extensively on Hellenistic historiography, the reception of Alexander the Great in Augustan Rome, and the role of antiquity in 19th- and early 20th-century Italian culture. He also curated volumes on the classical tradition and its relationship with modern historiography. Treccani/)
