"Fourth" edition of the text of Barthélemy's novel of travels in Greece during the 4th-century B.C., and first edition of the atlas. "It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Anacharsis in the development of French neo-classicism and in the creation of philhellenic sentiment. Though there had been earlier attempts to popularize and disseminate what was known of Greek antiquity, none had been as influential"--Blackmer 83 (1788 original edition).
