Robert Burton: The Anatomy of Melancholy: Volume VI: Commentary on the Third Partition, together with Biobibliographical and Topical Indexes

This concluding volume contains commentary on the Third Partition, which considers Love and Religious Melancholy. As before, the aim is to give as much help as possible to the modern reader, including translations of all Latin quotations. A 'Biobibliographical' index to the whole Anatomy is provided, giving brief details of the lives and works of the 1550 writers cited by Burton, together with an index of the major topics discussed.
