The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in A.D. 79 also buried nearby Herculaneum. Over time the location of the small town was forgotten. Shortly after its rediscovery in the 1730s, excavations--more likely treasure hunts--were organized that unearthed ancient sculptures that had
survived the disaster. The richest finds were from a villa that came to be called the Villa dei Papiri, because it also yielded upward of a thousand papyrus rolls--the only library ever to have been recovered from the classical world. To the great excitement of contemporaries, the papyri held...

"Sozomena" bedeutet auf Griechisch "Gerettetes." Die Reihe widmet sich der Erschlieung von Texten, die aus der griechischen und romischen Antike nur durch ausserordentliche Fund-Umstande erhalten geblieben sind - allen voran durch Papyri, von denen Tausende in Universitaten und Bibliotheken unentziffert vorhanden sind.

Die Reihe soll hauptsachlich Texte edieren und interpretieren, aber auch die Methoden der Erschlieung diskutieren. Verschiedene Buchtypen werden daher hier veroffentlicht: Texteditionen, Kommentare, Monographien und Sammelbande. Die Hauptsprache der Publikationen ist...

This edition collects all the epigrams attributed to Epicurean philosopher and poet Philodemos of Gadara (ca. 110-40 BC).

Sider also includes the text of a recently edited papyrus containing fragments of many known and newly discovered epigrams by Philodemos. In addition to the usual issues involved in editing a Classical...

On Weather Signs, traditionally ascribed to Theophrastus, contains the most complete list of such signs in antiquity and it was, in this or some very similar form, consulted by Aratus, Vergil (in Georgics I), and Pliny the Elder, as well as by many other authors throughout the Byzantine period. This edition is the first to take account of all the manuscripts and the commentary, the first in over a century, is on a far grander scale than earlier ones by Schneider (1818-21) and Wood (1894), listing almost all parallel texts for each sign. The introduction places the work in the...
