P Cambridge, Trinity College (Gale MS.), O.9.27 (13th-14th cent.).

These MSS. are divided by Rzach into the following families, issuing from a common original:—

Hesiod, The Homeric Hymns, and Homerica — Part 22

N Manchester, Rylands GK. Papyri No. 54 (1st cent. B.C.—1st cent. A.D.).

C Paris, Bibl. Nat. Suppl. Graec. 663 (12th cent.).

E Florence, Laur., Conv. suppr. 158 (14th cent.).

These MSS. are divided into two families:

A Vienna, Rainer Papyri L.P. 21-29 (4th cent.).

B Paris, Bibl. Nat., Suppl. Graec. 663 (12th cent.).

C Paris, Bibl. Nat., Suppl. Graec. 663 (12th cent.).

I London, British Museam Harleianus (14th cent.).

L Florence, Laur. Conv. suppr. 158 (14th cent.).

To these must be added two MSS. of mixed family:

Demetrius Chalcondyles, Milan (?) 1493 (?) (_editio princeps_, containing, however, only the _Works and Days_).

Aldus Manutius (Aldine edition), Venice, 1495 (complete works).

Trincavelli, Venice, 1537 (with scholia).

Of modern editions, the following may be noticed:—

Gaisford, Oxford, 1814-1820; Leipzig, 1823 (with scholia: in Poett. Graec. Minn II).

Goettling, Gotha, 1831 (3rd edition. Leipzig, 1878).

Rzach, Leipzig, 1902 (larger edition), 1913 (smaller edition).

On the Hesiodic poems generally the ordinary Histories of Greek Literature may be consulted, but especially the _Hist. de la Littérature Grecque_ I pp. 459 ff. of MM. Croiset. The summary account in Prof. Murray’s _Anc. Gk. Lit._ is written with a strong sceptical bias. Very valuable is the appendix to Mair’s translation (Oxford, 1908) on _The Farmer’s Year in Hesiod_. Recent work on the Hesiodic poems is reviewed in full by Rzach in Bursian’s _Jahresberichte_ vols. 100 (1899) and 152 (1911).

For the _Fragments_ of Hesiodic poems the work of Markscheffel, _Hesiodi Fragmenta_ (Leipzig, 1840), is most valuable: important also is Kinkel’s _Epicorum Graecorum Fragmenta_ I (Leipzig, 1877) and the editions of Rzach noticed above. For recently discovered papyrus fragments see Wilamowitz, _Neue Bruchstücke d. Hesiod Katalog_ (Sitzungsb. der k. preuss. Akad. fur Wissenschaft, 1900, pp. 839-851). A list of papyri belonging to lost Hesiodic works may here be added: all are the _Catalogues_.
