The Cambridge Ancient History is a multi-volume work of ancient history from Prehistory to Late Antiquity , published by Cambridge University Press . The first series, consisting of 12 volumes, was planned in 1919 by Irish historian J. B. Bury and published between 1924 and 1939, co-edited by Frank Adcock and Stanley Arthur Cook .[1] The second series was published between 1970 and 2005, consisting of 14 volumes in 19 books.
The Cambridge Ancient History is part of a larger series of works, along with The Cambridge Medieval History and The Cambridge Modern History , intended to cover the entire history of European civilisation.[2] In the original edition, it was the last in this series to appear, the first volume of the Modern History having been published in 1902, and the first volume of the Medieval History in 1911.[3] In the second series, however, the Ancient History began to be published before the Medieval History .[4]
