<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:11.5pt;"> pp. VIII, 136. Original printed wrappers. Contains plates and plans. Revised edition. Also reports on the myth of of the legendary Swiss heroine Julia Alpinula, whose pathetic fate in AD 69 inspired popular historians, dramatists, artists, and poets – including an infatuated Byron – over a period of more than two hundred years. The story was in fact a humanist hoax based on a fabricated epitaph by Paulus Merula. Secretan acknowledges that the story is ‘matière à hypothèse, rien de plus.’ See Freeman, Julia Alpinula, pseudo-Heroine of Helvetia. How a Forged Renaissance Epitaph Fostered a National Myth. London, 2015, p. 3, 5 and note.
