Project

What was antiquarian literature in Greek antiquity? Collection of the fragments of Aristotle's Politeiai for 'FGrHist IV' with translation, commentary and syntheses

The aim of this research project is to make a major contribution to our knowledge of antiquarian literature in Greek antiquity and to reassess its relation to historiography. For this purpose, the fragments of Aristotles Politeiai will be edited in critical editions, translated and commented on. This will form the basis of a reconstruction of the authors working method and of the leading principles characterizing this work, which will enable us to explore its relation  to other forms of historical literature and erudition.
