One of the canonical Athenian orators, Lysias was much admired in
antiquity. This new critical edition seeks to make the whole
surviving corpus of Lysias available to the modern reader. It
combines a newly edited text of the speeches preserved in the
medieval manuscript tradition (based on the most up-to-date
evaluation of the transmission) with a comprehensive collection of
the fragments preserved indirectly through citation in ancient
sources and in papyrus discoveries in the twentieth century. A
general introduction in English provides an overview of the
transmission of the text in antiquity and the Renaissance. An
appendix contains a number of speeches almost certainly not written
by Lysias but occasionally attributed to him in modern times.
