The Chronica by the grammarian Apollodorus of Athens (2nd century
BC) was an exemplary chronographical reference work. It was
composed in trimeters and represents the first Iambic didactic poem
ever. So far, the surviving original verses have hardly been
appreciated and analyzed in their own terms. Therefore a
comprehensive collection of these verses is provided, including an
introduction, edition, translation and commentary. Most verses stem
from Philodemus' Index Academicorum, a Herculanean papyrus. Through
the use of new imaging techniques and cutting-edge editing methods,
enormous textual progress has been made. Many verses have been
newly restored or significantly improved. They often reveal new
hard facts about Academic philosophers and also bear some relevance
for the dating of the Chronica and for Apollodorus' biography. In
short, this collection guarantees easy access to the genuine verses
of the Chronica, as originally drafted by Apollodorus, and thereby
facilitates a contextualization or comparison with other (Iambic)
didactic poems on a dramatically changed textual basis. The scope
of the book fulfills various scholarly desiderata from a
historical, philosophical, philological and literary-critical
standpoint.
