This short-lived (1813-26) classical journal was edited by James
Henry Monk (1784-1856) and Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857), who
were contemporaries at Trinity College, Cambridge. Both went on to
ecclesiastical careers: Monk left his position as Regius Professor
of Greek at Cambridge to become Dean of Peterborough and
subsequently Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, while Blomfeld, who
already held the country living of Quarrington in Lincolnshire when
the journal was founded, became Bishop of London. Encapsulating the
dominant contemporary style of English classical scholarship - the
close linguistic analysis of (primarily Greek) texts, as practised
by Richard Porson (1759-1808), Monk's predecessor as Regius
Professor - the Museum criticum became a rival to The Classical
Journal (also reissued in this series) and was collected in two
volumes in 1826. Illuminating the early development of academic
journals, Volume 1 contains issues 1-4.

Edited from Porson's notebooks by two of his Cambridge colleagues,
Adversaria was published posthumously in 1812. It includes Porson's
prelection (delivered when he was a candidate for the Regius
Professorship of Greek) and notes and emendations to his monumental
edition of Euripides as well as to editions of other Greek
writings. Among his contributions to nineteenth-century classical
scholarship was the discovery of a rule relating to the position of
words in Greek trimeters which is still known as Porson's law. His
scholarly style, which focused on metre and language rather than
interpretation, set the standard for classical textual criticism at
Cambridge for several decades. One of Porson's legacies was the
design of a Greek typeface based on his handwriting, commissioned
from Richard Austin by Cambridge University Press. 'Porson Greek'
was widely used in British publications for well over a century.
