Methuen’s Classical Texts
GENERAL EDITOR
E. C. MARCHANT, M.A.
OF TRINITY COLLEGE, OXFORD; FELLOW OF PETERHOUSE, CAMBRIDGE; ST. PAUL’s SCHOOL, LONDON.
Messrs. Methuen propose to issue a new series of Classical Texts, edited by eminent scholars, for the use of English-speaking students. The books will be well printed and bound, and will be published at a very low price. The first volume of every author will contain a brief Introduction in English, not exceeding eight pages, in which the necessary information about the MSS. will be given, and the salient features of the author’s style indicated.
The critical notes, which will be at the foot of the page, will exhibit only the important MS. variants and conjectures of special value. They will contain very little argument; and there will be no explanatory notes. Every volume of the series will contain a short Index Rerum et Nominum.
Special attention will be paid to the typography of the series.
The following, among many others, are arranged:—

Methuen’s Byzantine Texts
GENERAL EDITOR
J. B. BURY, M.A.
FELLOW AND TUTOR OF TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, PROFESSOR OF MODERN HISTORY IN DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.
Messrs. Methuen propose to issue a series of texts of Byzantine Historians, edited by English and foreign scholars. It will consist mainly of Greek texts, but will also include English translations of some Oriental works which are important sources for Byzantine history. The Greek texts, which will be in all cases based on original study of MSS., will be accompanied by brief critical notes, and preceded by short introductions, containing the necessary explanations as to the material which has been used for the determination of the text. A special feature of these volumes will be very full indices Graecitatis, framed with a view to the collection of material for the Lexicon totius Graecitatis of the future. Each volume will of course also be provided with an Index Rerum et Nominum.
The collaboration of a considerable number of eminent foreign scholars has been secured; so that this series can justly claim to be regarded as international.
