The Palaces Of Crete And Their Builders (1907) - Angelo Mosso - Bog

The Palaces of Crete and Their Builders is a historical and archaeological study of the ancient Minoan civilization that flourished on the island of Crete in the Bronze Age. Written by Italian anthropologist Angelo Mosso and first published in 1907, the book explores the architecture, art, and culture of the Minoans, focusing on their impressive palace complexes, such as Knossos, Phaistos, and Malia. Mosso examines the construction techniques, materials, and decorative motifs used in these palaces, as well as their social and political functions. He also considers the possible religious and mythological significance of the Minoan art and symbols, including the famous bull-leaping frescoes. The book includes numerous illustrations, photographs, and diagrams to help readers visualize the palaces and their features. Mosso's work remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Minoan archaeology and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
