 Editions of Hesiod: —

Demetrius Chalcondyles, Milan (?) 1493 (?) (editio princips, containing, however, only the Works and Days).

Aldus Manntius (Aldine edition), Venice, 1495 (complete works).

Juntine Editions, 1515 and 1540.

Trincavelli, Venice, 1537 (with scholia).

Of modern editions the following may be noticed:—

Gaisford, Oxford, 1814 -1820; Leipzig, 1823 (with scholia in Poett. Graec. Minn II).

Goettling, Gotha, 1831 (3rd edition, Leipzig 1878).

Didot Edition, Paris, 1840. Schömann, 1869.

Koechly and Kinkel, Leipzig, 1870.

Flach, Leipzig, 1874-8.

Rzach, Leipzig, 1902 (larger edition), 1913 (smaller edition).

On the Hesiodic poems generally the ordinary Histories of Greek Literature may be consulted, but especially the ''Hist. de la Littérature Greque'' I pp. 459 ff. of MM. Croiset. The summary account in Prof. Murray's ''Anc. Gk. Lit.'' is written with a strong sceptical bias. Very valuable is the appendix to Mair's translation (Oxford, 1908) on The Farmer's Year in Hesiod. Recent work on the Hesiodic poems is reviewed in full Rzach in Bursian's Jahresberichte vols. 100 (1899) and 152 (1911).

For the Fragments of Hesiodic poems the work of Markscheffel, Hesiodi Fragmenta (Leipzig, 1840), is most valuable: important also is Kinkel's Epicorum Graecorum Fragmenta I (Leipzig, 1877) and the editions of Rzach noticed above, For recently discovered papyrus fragments see Wilamowitz, Neue Bruchstücke d. Hesiod Katalog (Sitzungsb. der k. preuss. Akad. für Wissenschaft, 1900. pp. 839-851.) A list of the papyri belonging to lost Hesiodic works may be added: all are from the Catalogues.
