New Groningen Strabo Edition
In the 1980s a major research project was started to publish
a new edition of the Geographica of Strabo.
This new edition is being prepared by Prof. Stefan L. Radt and a group of
researchers of the University of Groningen (Netherlands) consisting of
philologists, archaeologists, ancient historians and a geographer. The new
edition, which is intended to satisfy the requirements of modern scholarship,
will consist of ten volumes: four volumes of (newly collated) text and a German
translation, one volume of the Epitome and Chrestomathy, four
volumes of commentary (in German), and an index volume. Beginning in 2002 one
volume will be published every year according to the following schedule:
