Brill's New Jacoby - New resource

New Jacoby (annual subscription) :

Felix Jacoby's 1st 3 parts of Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker (FGrHist) (1923 -1958), included fragments of 856 Greek historians' writings, and a commentary on many of these fragments. In 1999, indexes to the 3 parts were published. From 1998 onwards, the continuation of Jacoby’s work, edited by Guido Schepens produced FGrHist continued: Part IV (Biography and Antiquarian Literature) .

Brill's New Jacoby (BNJ) includes those fragments which have been edited by Jacoby: parts I-III, adds commentaries on the fragments previously lacking commentary, biographies of authors, bibliographies and an English translation. BNJ will be published online in batches of 50-60 fragmentary authors every six months, beginning in December 2006 and ending in 2013.

The continuation of Jacoby (Vols. IV- ) do not form a part of the BNJ.
