Map illustrated endpapers. 924pp. Ships in a box, packed with care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Edward Gibbon's historical masterpiece, originally published in six volumes during the late eighteenth century, remains a foundational text of modern historiography and Enlightenment-era literature. The work chronicles the vast arc of the Roman Empire, beginning with the stability of the Antonine age and tracing the gradual political, social, and military decay that culminated in the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Celebrated for its rigorous methodology, its utilization of primary sources, and its complex prose, the text offers a comprehensive exploration of early Europe and the Byzantine world. This single-volume abridgement by David Morrice Low delivers a scholarly condensation of Gibbon's immense narrative. Low, an established biographer of Gibbon and classical scholar, managed the challenging task of compressing over one million words into a single, cohesive volume. By carefully excising repetitive military descriptions and theological digressions, he preserved the architectural prose, ironic tone, and essential historical progression of the original six-volume publication. This edition was published by Harcourt, Brace and Company in 1960. The design elements of this volume include illustrated double-page cartographic endpapers displaying a detailed map of the Roman Empire in the time of the Antonines. The binding is constructed with deep red linen cloth boards featuring a blind-stamped classical emblem on the front cover, complemented by a spine detailed with gold-stamped text and gold arcade patterns. Designed for the Book-of-the-Month Club, this mid-century printing represents a design format utilized to present Gibbon's historical scholarship to mid-century bibliophiles.…
