FGrHist
''Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker'', commonly abbreviated ''FGrHist'' or ''FGrH'' (''Fragments of the Greek Historians''), is a collection by Felix Jacoby of the works of those ancient Greek historians whose works have been lost, but of which we have citations, extracts or summaries. It is mainly founded on Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Müller's previous ''Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum'' (1841–1870). The work was started in 1923 and continued by him till his death in 1959. The project was divided into six parts, of which only the first three were published. The first included the mythographers and the most ancient historians (authors 1-63); the second, the historians proper (authors 64–261); the third, the autobiographies, local histories and works on foreign countries (authors 262-856). Parts I-III come to fifteen volumes, but Jacoby never got to write part IV (biography and antiquarian literature) and V (historical geography). A pool of editors is currently trying to comp ...

Felix Jacoby
Felix Jacoby (; 19 March 1876 – 10 November 1959) was a German classicist and philologist. He is best known among classicists for his highly important work ''Fragmente der griechischen Historiker'', a collection of text fragments of ancient Greek historians. Biography Jacoby was born in Magdeburg to Jewish parents. There he attended the grammar school at the monastery of ''Unser Lieben Frauen'' (Our Dear Lady) in Magdeburg and was baptised a Protestant in St John's Church at the age of 11. From 1906 to 1934, he was professor of Classics at Kiel. Though he was later expelled from the University of Kiel during the ''Gleichschaltung'' of Nazi Germany, Jacoby is said by some to have been one of a very small number of German Jews who initially supported Adolf Hitler. According to some witnesses, he even went so far as to make the startling comparison in 1933: As a Jew I find myself in a difficult position. But as a historian I have long learned not to view historical events from a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
