While googling for Gn. Pompeius Strabo for our current book chat, The Grass Crown – with not much success – I found these Google Books:
Lectures on the history of Rome (from the earliest times to the fall of the Western empire), Volume I and Volume II by Barthold Georg Niebuhr, Taylor and Walton, London 1844. (There is obviously more to come.)
The lectures were first published between 1811 and 1832.
Barthold Georg Niebuhr (1776-1831) was a German statesman, diplomat, and historian.
Niebuhr at Wikipedia (as usual, handle with care). Most of the text is from the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. “Niebuhr's Roman History counts among epoch-making histories both as marking an era in the study of its special subject and for its momentous influence on the general conception of history.”
Niebuhr is universally conceded Germany's first great scholar of antiquity. He also has been called the “German Tacitus.”
One wonders, if Niebuhr would have lived a long life, how he, a conservative, and Theodor Mommsen, the liberal, would have interacted.
A list of all his books in text online, both in German and English. Barthold Georg Niebuhr in print.
Something by Edgar Allan Poe: Review of Lieber's Reminiscences of Niebuhr, from Southern Literary Messenger, January 1836.
Niebuhr's father, Carsten, was no slouch either, a self-made man best known for participating as a surveyor and geographer in an expedition to the Near East in the 1760s, and after the expedition folded due to the deaths of most of its members, traveling to India and the Middle East.
