MONOGRAPHS. Keramopoulos, A. D. "Ανάθημα αμπελιωτών Κυρηναίων εν Δελφοίς. Καύλος Σιλφίου,'' JIAN XII (1907) pages 295-310, plate XV. 8vo (18x25.5cm), new beige imitation linen, black spine letters (Silphium Dedicated by the Cyrenaeans at Delphi), original printed card cover affixed to front board. Additional heavy paper leaves on some of which are mounted printouts from internet auction platforms depicting further specimens and price information. Some foxing to title page, pages slightly bent. Very Good.

A note from BCD: The additional auction information appended to this article illustrates several different silphium images that demonstrate the importance of the plant more as a concept rather than as an actual medical aid.
