Geographi Graeci Minores, Volume 1, edited by Jean F. Gail, is a comprehensive collection of minor Greek geographical texts, primarily in Latin. This volume includes the periploi (circumnavigations) of Hanno and Scylax, offering invaluable insights into ancient seafaring, exploration, and geographical knowledge. Hanno's voyage along the African coast and Scylax's journey through the Mediterranean and beyond provide critical primary source material for understanding the classical world's perception of its geographical boundaries and the cultures inhabiting those regions. This edition is essential for scholars and students interested in ancient history, classical geography, and the history of exploration. The meticulous scholarship of Jean F. Gail ensures the accuracy and accessibility of these important texts, making them available for contemporary readers.
