Paperback / softback
Description
Sir George Francis Hill (1867-1948) was perhaps best known as a numismatist, although his scholarly interests and accomplishments included a range of time periods and subjects.
A classicist by training, Hill built his career at the British Museum's department of coins and medals.
In his forty-three years there he produced volumes on coins of antiquity; Greek history and art; coins, heraldry, and iconography of medieval and Renaissance Italy; and treasure troves.
In 1931 Hill became the Museum's director and principal librarian, the first archaeologist to hold this post.
His four-volume History of Cyprus (1940-1952) ranged from Cyprus' earliest years to the twentieth century, and became the standard text on the subject.
It is a valuable resource for scholars of the country, of antiquity and of the Mediterranean world.
Volume 1 describes the land of Cyprus before unravelling its history from the Stone Age to the Crusades.
