Keerl, Johann Heinrich. "Ueber die Ruinen Herculanums und Pompeii. Nebst 
einer kurzen Beschreibung von den Schauspielen der alten Römer und 
Griechen"

Gotha: Ettinger, 1791.

An uncommon work on Pompeii and Herculaneum, illustrated with 8 engraved 
plates, several of which are quite dramatic. Johann Heinrich Keerl 
(1759-1810) was a minor Bavarian government official and a poet, 
playwright, editor and amateur historian. This work on the ruins of 
ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum, with a special emphasis on their 
theaters and plays, was actually part of a larger literary series he 
wrote between 1789 and 1806 on Naples and Sicily, though this appears to 
be the only
work dealing with the ancients. An uncommon work in the trade.

Hardcover. 5"x8", 196 pages plus 8 folding engraved plates mounted on 
stubs, and the errata sheet.  Newly bound in brown boards and quarter 
leather, scattered light soil. [41638] $650
