Manuscript 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/ma...k_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/ma...il_letters.htm All the best, Roger Pearse |

Thank you for the kind words. It struck me a few months ago that we had no equivalent to Texts and Transmissions for Greek, and that meant it was really hard to get a feel for what sort of basis our texts rest on. I did email N.G.Wilson and suggest he "get the lads together for another gig" and do one, but he's busy. So I went down to Cambridge University Library and stood there and photocopied the relevant pages from every Greek Loeb that they had which had anything in it. It's not great -- but it's better than zilch.
What I need now is Homer and Euripides and people like that. |
