Lexicon Historiographicum Graecum et Latinum. Vol. 1: A-AK
(in reprint)

This is the first issue of a work conceived of as a list, in alphabetical order, of Greek and Latin terms concerning historiography.
The lemmas of the Lexicon have been singled out by reading ancient historians from all angles: account has been taken of programmatic and methodological aspects (the lexicon of knowledge, research, verification, declaration of intent, memory and selection); the attitude and animus of the historian (with the lexicon of controversy and criticism);
his relationship with his public (the lexicon of communication and the 'edition');
finally the formal aspects such as the division and structure of the work, the method of internal cross-references, the categories and subcategories of historiography.
The lemmas have been divided into principal and secondary: for the latter there is not an autonomous treatment but a crossreference to a principal lemma. The complete list can be consulted on the Scuola Normale website (www.sns.it). The entries given into Italian or other languages used in the Science present a homogeneous structure divided into six sections: etymology, linguistically similar terms (with special attention to those found in historians), onomasticon including any personifications of the concept, ancient lexicographie occurrences, bibliography and, finally, the actual treatment, in other words a semantic analysis and study of the use of the term in historiography form its origins to the late Imperial Age.
The range of entries programmed for the Lexicon should be - as the editors hope - sufficiently wide to take account of all the terms and concepts applicable to the 'historian's task', in the widest sense it is possible to give this expression.
