Herodotus Bibliography

Herodotus Bibliography

The bibliography on Herodotus is as massive as the monumental history itself. Below are some starting points for investigation, topically arranged; included are first the principal resources and general studies, followed by studies of more specialized interest. At the end are collected the most recent book-length studies.       [Last updated 8/2016.]

The Oxford Bibliography on Herodotus by Bakker and Baragwanath is a less idiosyncratic, excellent resource. To gain access to that, look in the library catalogue under Oxford Bibliographies. Classics.

Bibliographies

Bakker et al. 2002. A large bibliography accompanies this volume, somewhat unwieldy however (since a collection of references from the individual articles rather than a thoughtful collection).

Bergson 1966. L. Bergson, “Herodotus 1937-60,” Lustrum 11.71-138.

Bubel 1991. Frank Bubel, Herodot-Bibliographie, 1980-88. Hildesheim.

Dewald & Marincola 1987. C. Dewald and J. Marincola, “A Selective Introduction to Herodotean Studies,” in Boedeker 1987, 9-40. See also Dewald and Marincola 2006.

Marg 1982 (“Literaturverzeichnis”).

Marincola 2001. John Marincola. The Greek Historians. Greece & Rome New Surveys in the Classics, no. 31). Oxford.

Waters 1985, extensive selected bibliography, topically arranged.

Editions and commentaries

*Asheri 2007. David Asheri, Alan Lloyd, Aldo Corcella, Oswyn Murray, Alfonso Moreno. A Commentary on Herodotus, Books I-IV. Oxford, 2007. The fundamental commentary resource for the early books.

Asheri 1988- . David Asheri, Le storie: Erodoto. 9 vols. Superseded in part by Asheri 2007.

Hude 1927, Charles Hude, Herodoti Historiae. Oxford (OCT). 2 vols.

How & Wells 1912. W. W. How and J. Wells, A Commentary on Herodotus. Oxford 1912, repr. 1928. Long the best historical commentary for the whole of the Histories; the introduction is a useful brief account of Herodotus and his work. In large part (but not entirely) superseded by Asheri 2007.

Legrand 1946-56. Ph.-E. Legrand. Hérodote: Histoires. Les Belles Lettres.

Lloyd 1975, 1976, 1988. Alan B. Lloyd, Herodotus: Book II. Introduction (I) and Commentary (II, III). 3 vols. Leiden. Incorporated into Asheri 2007.

MacNeal 1986. R. A. MacNeal, Herodotus: Book I. Lanham and London, 1986. A radically idiosyncratic, but interesting, edition that reconstitutes text and spellings entirely based on MS A (sic!).

*Powell 1977. J. Enoch Powell, A Lexicon to Herodotus (2nd ed. Hildesheim, 1977). An extraordinary piece of work; very helpful, but sadly now out of print.

Rosén 1987. Herodoti Historiae. Teubner. 2 vols. Now the fundamental critical edition, but too expensive for classroom use. Idiosyncratic at times in critical judgment.

Stein 1869 and 1871. Herodoti Historiae. 2 vols. Still the most ample critical edition; contains the testimonia, and the (rather scanty) scholia.

Stein 1892. Heinrich Stein, Herodotos, 5 vols. Many times revised; the last edition in 1892-1908. Still the best philological commentary on the Histories as a whole, though largely superseded now by Asheri 2007 for the early books.
