Klio (magazine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klio. Contributions to Ancient History is the oldest scientific journal for ancient history , founded in 1897, first published in 1901. It is named after Klio , the muse of historiography . However, it did not have the name from the beginning, rather the first five volumes appeared only as contributions to ancient history .

The first editor was Carl F. Lehmann ; Ernst Kornemann joined the third year in 1903 . The editors were supported by numerous renowned experts, including Karl Julius Beloch , Georg Busolt , Benedikt Niese , Ettore Pais , and Michael Rostovtzeff .

From the very beginning, the main topics have mainly been problems of the history of Greece and Rome from Archaic to late antiquity, but the relationship to the ancient Orient and the results of special research areas such as epigraphy , papyrology , archeology and numismatics are also taken into account. In addition to problems of political history, topics from the fields of culture, science and society were also increasingly included. Maps, photographs and drawings complete the contributions, which are written in German, English, Italian, French or Spanish. Brief reviews and a list of books received by the editorial team provide an overview of the latest specialist publications.

history

The Klio was published from 1901 to 1944 by Dieterich Verlag in Leipzig . After the first series of the magazine had been numbered consecutively from 1901 to 1923, a "New Series" was opened in 1925, which began with number 1 and was published in 1944 with number 18 for the last time. In 1959 the East Berlin Academy Publishing House published the first post-war volume with number 37 (so one continued counting from 1901 in direct succession), while in 1950 the magazine Historia was founded in West Germany as a replacement . Since 1971, the yearbook Chiron has been published as the third “big” journal for ancient history . The importance of the pre-war series is also evident from the fact that the entire sentence was reprinted as early as the early 1960s, although no longer in the format and on the excellent paper of the original publication.

The Klio was published by the Central Institute for Ancient History and Archeology until 1992 . However, it was not only open to East German researchers, Western ancient historians also published here; in some cases there were also contributions in Russian. Even after 1959 important articles appeared in the Klio . However, the publications of East German scholars at that time were not always up-to-date and at the level of international research due to the shortage of foreign currency and the resulting lack of access to current specialist literature as well as the centralized bureaucracy in the GDR , and some articles were also scientifically unacceptable of socialist ideas embossed.

Since 1993 the journal has had a new editorial board. The editors are currently the ancient historians Manfred Clauss (Frankfurt am Main), Hans-Joachim Gehrke (Freiburg / Berlin), Peter Funke (Münster) and Christian Mann (Mannheim). The Klio is currently published in two “booklets” (in fact, two books with a hard cover, each several hundred pages thick) per year by Walter de Gruyter (Berlin and Boston). It is not only one of the most important historical journals in Germany. The editorial team has been based at the University of Mannheim since 2018 .

From 1903 to 1944 and again since 1999 (in a new series ) the Klio supplements also appear ; these are ancient historical monographs , mostly university publications . The booklets were also reprinted.
