Handbook of Classical Studies

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The handbook of classical studies (right and center below) next to the editions of Pauly

The Handbook of Classical Antiquities ( HdA , also HdAW , HbAW or HAW ) was founded as a manual of classical antiquity in a systematic presentation in 1885 by Iwan von Müller , continued from 1913 by Robert von Pöhlmann , expanded from 1920 by Walter Otto and continued from 1953 by Hermann Bengtson . Current editors are Hans-Joachim Gehrke and Bernhard Zimmermann . The manual is published irregularly by the CH Beck publishing house in Munich .

In contrast to the Realencyclopedia of Classical Antiquities (RE) , which was conceived and started at the same time, the HdA wanted to present the knowledge of the time about antiquity in a systematic context. However, unlike manuals , the manual is not usually limited to the presentation of the current state of knowledge; The HdA also published its own original research achievements. Like RE , the plant is a project of the century. In contrast to this, many volumes of the manual have been updated and brought up to date. This was done through revisions or by completely rewriting the partial volumes.

The Handbook of Classical Studies appears in twelve sections, but section eleven is not occupied:

Planned additions and revisions

As some volumes no longer correspond to the current state of research due to their age and, moreover, some areas of classical studies have not yet been adequately considered in the handbook series, some volumes are to be replaced by revisions and further volumes are to be added. According to the publisher, the following revisions are planned: Greek history is to be presented in three volumes (Volume I: Minoan, Mycenaean and Archaic Greece, Volume II: Classical Greece, Volume III: Hellenism). A revision of Roman history is to take place in two volumes (Volume I: Republic, Volume II: Imperial Era). There are also plans for two volumes on ancient social history (volume I: Greece, volume II: Rome), a handbook on ancient economic history, a handbook of the Roman provinces, volumes II, III, VI, VII and VIII of the eight partial volumes of Latin literature as well as a three-volume Greek literary history (Volume I: Archaic and Classical Era, Volume II: Classical Period up to Hellenism, Volume III: Imperial Era), whereby the first two volumes have now been realized.
