History Forum / General / Ancient History / July 2008Manuscript traditions of the Greek classics
I've been collecting information on how the Greek classics get to us -- lists of extant manuscripts, etc. It's by no means complete, but still very interesting. It's here: http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/manuscripts/greek_classics.htm I accidentally also got the transmission of the letters of St. Basil the Great, so that's here for comparison: http://www.tertullian.org/rpearse/manuscripts/basil_letters.htm All the best, Roger Pearse >I've been collecting information on how the Greek classics get to us >-- lists of extant manuscripts, etc. It's by no means complete, but [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >Roger Pearse > Nice, Roger, Do you by any chance know which classics are unique to being saved through the Myriobiblos of Saint Photius? > >I've been collecting information on how the Greek classics get to us > >-- lists of extant manuscripts, etc. It's by no means complete, but [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Do you by any chance know which classics are unique to being saved > through the Myriobiblos of Saint Photius? Not off-hand. But we can get a fair idea by looking at the online text and seeing how many of the codices discuss now lost works (a lot of them): http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/photius_copyright/index.htm His book is a series of reviews and long abstracts, tho.

I don't have any information on Herodotus yet. I wish I did.

I've now updated that page with information on the mss of Herodotus. There's a fair number of papyri (none before the 1st century AD), but the usual collection of medieval codices really supply the text. Now working on the Odyssey. All the best, Roger Pearse |
