George Allen:
The Life of Philidor
[2854]

Musician and Chess-Player.
Reprint 2001, 156 Seiten, gebunden, englisch

This is a reprint of an 1865 publication by George Allen who was Professor of Greek at the University of Pennsylvania, with a supplementary essay on Philidor as chess author and chess-player by von der Lasa.
As you’d expect from a classics professor, this is scholarly work, but also a very interesting and readable, despite an antiquated typeface.
