The Fragments of the Persika of Ktesias (1888)

The Fragments of the Persika of Ktesias (1888) is a book written by John Gilmore. It is a compilation of fragments from the Persika, an ancient Greek work by Ktesias, a physician and historian who lived in the 5th century BC. The Persika is a historical account of the Persian Empire, and is considered to be one of the most important sources of information about the Persian Empire during its peak. However, the original text has been lost, and only fragments of it have survived. In this book, Gilmore has collected and translated these fragments, providing readers with a glimpse into the history, culture, and society of the Persian Empire. The book is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in ancient history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
