Apart from relatively few exceptions of texts which survive intact,
what we have of Ancient Greek literature remains, to a great
degree, fragmentary. As a result it is often misread, overlooked or
mined not for its own sake but to support the investigation of
texts which survive in their entirety. This collection of chapters
addresses a range of poetic fragments, with a strong (though not
exclusive) focus on Archaic epic and lyric, and an emphasis on the
papyrological tradition. Its main purpose is to showcase effective
methodologies through case studies, through a "hands-on" approach
assisted by a robust theoretical underpinning. The topics covered
include textual criticism, the editing of fragmentary corpora, the
role of palaeography and the physical features of writing
materials, the study of ancient editions, annotations and
paraliterary texts, matters of indirect or mixed tradition, and
fragment placement and attribution. This volume will certainly be a
rewarding read, intended equally for new researchers who wish to
acquire or improve the skills needed to deal with fragmentary texts
and for established scholars who may draw on the authors' insights
to navigate the field improving their experience and enriching
their knowledge.
