London: A. Strahan and T. Cadell 1790. Leather Bound. Pagination: volume I blank 2 vii-xi blank 569 blank 5; volume II blank 2 v-xi blank 562 blank 5. 8vo. Complete two volume set bound in full period calf. Both volumes show light wear. The joints are tender but the contents clean and tight. A good plus set. <br/><br/>The Oxford Companion to English Literature calls 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' the most celebrated historical work in English literature p. 261. Gibbon 1727-1794 formed his plan of the 'History' during a tour of Italy in 1764-65. The first volume was issued in 1776 in quarto size followed by volumes II and III in 1781 and the last three volumes in 1788. The work covers the period from the age of Trajan and the Antoines to the taking of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. The work was abridged and published in two volumes in 1789 and again in 1790 this latter printing being done by A. Strahan and T. Cadell. Both printings are virtually identical except that there is supposedly a reference in the 'Advertisement' following the title page of volume I stating that the abridgement has been carried out 'for the youthful mind'. Our set contains a somewhat different statement: '.the author flatters himself that what remains will be found instructive to the youthful and interesting to the curious mind'. It is tempting to conjecture that the reference to the 'author' can mean none other than Gibbon himself he was still alive and not to one of the editors to whom this abridgement is sometimes attributed e.g. J. B. Bury Charles Hereford Alexander Adams or John Adams. If that is the case then it would mean this abridgement was authorized if not carried out by Gibbon himself.

Istanbul: Indie Yayinlari 2019. New. Paperback. 1300 / 1950 cm. In Turkish. 440 p. Çevirmen : Asim Baltacigil Iki yüzyil sonra neden Gibbon okuyoruz Nükteler ve yüksek ahlaki amacin birlesimi cevabin bir parçasidir ancak çok az tarihçi entelektüel paradigma degisimlerinden kurtulur. Gerileyis ve Çöküs Ingilizcedeki en büyük anlatilardan birisidir çünkü tarihe dair pek çok seyi tek bir devasa hikâye ve engin bir kadroda birlestirmeyi basarmistir. Yetkinligi büyük ölçüde tarihten ders çikarma arzusundan gelir o özgür bir bireydir ve bu anlamda güvendedir baskalarinin özgürlüklerini ve vatandaslarin görevlerini üstlenmelerini saglamak ister. Ögrettigi tarih her seyden önce sivil sorumlulukla ilgilidir. ""Hristiyanlar ve barbarlar imparatorlugu yikti çünkü iyi vatandaslar olmadilar ruhlarini ya da hirslarini halkin kaygilarinin önüne çikardilar."" Tertullian'dan Elagabalus'a kadar bir dizi tarihsel kisilige karsi sabirsizligi tarihsel rollerini ciddiyet ile yerine getiremedikleri içindir. Indie Yayinlari paperback
