A fine, clean copy of "Les Antiquites de Palmyre au Musee du Louvre", by Jacqueline Dentzer-Feydy et Javier Teixidor, published by Editions de la Reunion des musees nationaux at Paris in 1993. One of the greatest cities of antiquity; the Roman city of Palmyra is situated in the Syrian desert, halfway between the Mediterranean and the Euphrates. Sometimes called the Queen of the Desert, this oasis city was the stopping place for the many caravans en route to the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. This excellent guide, with illustrations in black and white and full colour surveys the collection of antiquities excavated from the city and presently housed in The Louvre. Soft covers, large format, 253 pages, text in French.
