Der Neue Overbeck Die antiken Schriftquellen zu den bildenden Kunsten der Griechen

Now in paperback

Since it was first published in Leipzig in 1868, Johannes Overbeck’s Ancient Literary Sources for the History of the Visual Arts of the Greeks has been a standard work, not just for all classical disciplines, but also for art history and related studies. This completely revised edition in 5 volumes goes far beyond a simple revision and addition of new sources. The 2nd edition has been slightly corrected and updated with new epigraphical findings.

Standard reference work for all disciplines in Classical Studies, as well as art history and neighboring disciplines.
This is a thoroughly revised, 2nd edition of the “classic” work.
