Description
BERNAND, André. Pan of the Desert. Leiden, E.J. Brill, 1977. In-4 (28 x 21 cm), full green percaline, title on the spine and upper cover (publisher’s binding). 308 pp.; 71 plates. First edition. A seminal archaeological study cataloguing the Greek and Latin inscriptions relating to the cult of the god Pan in the eastern desert of Egypt. ‘... our discovery of the Paneion at El-Boueib and, in other locations, our readings of inscriptions overlooked by our predecessors, have taught us that, in this eastern desert, it is possible, provided one has the time and resources, to find new texts and significantly improve upon earlier readings.” (preface). Illustrated with 71 plates: black-and-white photographic reproductions, mainly of inscriptions discovered during the research. In perfect condition.
