I came accross this book at my father-in-laws indoor fleamarket...he has no clue what he has in the big mess he calls a fleamarket. It looked old, so I picked it up and looked at it...it's very old, Preface is dated 1897, there is no copyright. It's pretty beat up, and has a lot of pencil markings in it...someone really used this book in study...the other thing, it's written almost entirely in Greek, with limited English excerpts and notes.
If anyone would be interested in it, make an offer. Atar, can you read Greek?
I did a Google search on the title, because I honestly didnt have a clue what it was exactly, but I had a rough idea, and I was right. It's a history of Cyrus the Great and the Persian Empire....there's historical stuff, military stuff, a romance, a guide to the political administration of an empire, and a bunch of other stuff.
A neat find in any case.
