History of Classical Scholarship

By Albert Henrichs

This volume contains the collected papers of Albert Henrichs on the history of classical scholarship. The longstanding interest of Albert Henrichs with the traditions of classical philology brought him to write essays on a number of individual scholars and works, from Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker and Otto Jahn through Friedrich Nietzsche and Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff to Karl Ker nyi and Reinhold Merkelbach. The changing practices of scholarship, the defining debates and the stakes at play in marking the boundaries that separated the centre from the periphery of Greek philology were revisited through numerous case studies. All the issues of Greek religion, literature and culture pursued by Henrichs in his other work are studied from a reflexive, second-order perspective in these papers.
