Pauly encyclopedias

Template:Short description Template:Expand German

The 8 volumes of the revised version of Pauly's initial Template:Lang are at the lower right. The 83 volumes of Wissowa's revised RE fill the entire rest of this bookcase in the library of the University of Göttingen's Seminar for Classical Philology.

The Pauly encyclopedias<ref>Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> or the Pauly-Wissowa family of encyclopedias,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> are a set of related encyclopedias on Greco-Roman topics and scholarship. The first of these, Template:Lang or Template:Lang (1839–1852), was begun by compiler August Pauly. Other encyclopedias in the set include Pauly–Wissowa (1890–1978), Little Pauly (1964–1975), and The New Pauly (1996–2012).

Ur-Pauly

Template:Main The first edition was the Template:Lang ("Practical Encyclopedia of the Study of Classical Ancient History in Alphabetical Order") originally compiled by August Friedrich Pauly. As the basis for the subsequent PaulyTemplate:NdashWissowa edition, it is also known as the Template:Lang. The first volume was published in 1839 but Pauly died in 1845 before the last was completed. Christian Waltz (1802Template:Ndash1857) and Wilhelm Siegmund Teuffel completed the 6 volume first edition in 1852.Template:Sfnp

A second edition of the first volume of Pauly's encyclopedia was published by Teuffel in 1861. The revised second volume came out in 1866, with the rest of the work left incomplete.Template:Sfnp

Pauly–Wissowa

The first page of the first half-volume (Template:Lang) of the PaulyTemplate:NdashWissowa

Template:Main Georg Wissowa began work on a new and more ambitious edition in 1890. Template:Lang ("Pauly's Practical Encyclopedia of the Study of Classical Ancient History"), more commonly known as the Pauly–Wissowa (Template:Abbr. PW), was planned for completion by 1900 but work again outlasted its initial editor. Continued under Wilhelm Kroll, Kurt Witte, Karl Mittelhaus, and Konrat Ziegler, the series was not completed until 1972, with supplements added until 1978 and the index in 1980.Template:Sfnp Each article was written by a recognized specialist in the relevant field, but unsurprisingly for a work spanning three generations, the underlying assumptions vary radically with the age of the article. Many early biographies were written by Elimar Klebs, Paul von Rohden, Friedrich Münzer, and Otto Seeck.

Little Pauly

Template:Main The size and price of Wissowa's edition being daunting, Konrat Ziegler put out an abridged Template:Lang ("The Little Pauly"; Template:Abbr. KlP) edition of 5 volumes between 1964 and 1975. Ziegler was assisted by Walther Sontheimer and Hans Gärtner.Template:Sfnp

New Pauly

Template:Lang ("The New Pauly") was published in 16 volumes from 1996 to 2003, including 12 volumes on antiquity edited primarily by Hubert Cancik and Helmuth Schneider, 3 volumes on the classical tradition edited primarily by Manfred Landfester, and an index.Template:Sfnp Template:Sfnp Template:Sfnp<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The English translation was published as Brill's New Pauly: Encyclopaedia of the Ancient World in 22 volumes between 2002 and 2014.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Supplements have been published regularly since 2004 in German and English translation. Among other numbering differences, there is one less supplement in the English edition than the German edition because in the German edition the index to the "Classical Tradition" was counted as a supplement.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
