Description and Table of Contents

Description

Born in Germany, Jacob Burckhardt (1818 97) was one of the greatest historians of classical and Renaissance art, architecture and culture. Though he died more than one hundred years ago, his superb prose is as fresh and readable today as it was at the end of the 19th century.
