This two-volume edition (with commentary in Latin) of the surviving
fragments of the works of minor Greek historians was published by
German philologist Ludwig August Dindorf (1805-71) in 1870-1.
Brother of the better known scholar K.W. Dindorf, Ludwig
collaborated with him for nearly thirty years on an edition of
Robert Estienne's Thesaurus linguae graecae, and published on
several Greek historians, but led such a reclusive life that his
name was sometimes thought to be a pseudonym. Many of the authors
in this edition are classed as 'minor' largely because so little of
their output has survived, usually as citations in later Byzantine
works. Volume 1 contains fragments of the works of Nicolaus
Damascenus (born c.64 BCE, who wrote a history of the world in 144
volumes, scientific works, and biographies of his personal friend
Herod the Great and Augustus), Dexippus, Priscus, Eustathius of
Epiphania, and Olympiodorus of Thebes, among others.
