Why not? Historians still revere Braudel and The Mediterranean was published nearly 70 years ago. Are you certain that there are no such exemplary works outside of the fields you like?



No, but I'm certain that whether revered or not, Braudel's work is still "full of mistakes and bad reasoning" -- it's just that in history those are harder to tell.
