New edition of the French translation of Pausanias by Father Gedoyn established on the Latin version of Amaseus, published for the first time in 1547. One in 4 edition appeared simultaneously, but it is less common. It is illustrated by 3 folding maps and 3 boards also extendible.

Pausanias was a geographer and writer of the second century AD. JC His description of Greece is a key witness on Greece to Roman times. The translation of Father Gedoyn was long sought for its elegance, even if it errs on misstatements.
