Catalogue of the Evidence for Presocratics in the Herculaneum Papyri

A groundbreaking catalogue of pre-Socratic philosophical evidence from the Herculaneum papyri has been compiled, marking the first comprehensive systematic analysis of this ancient tradition within Epicureanism. The Index Praesocraticorum Philosophorum Herculanensis (IPPH) updates existing testimonia to reflect current research and critical reconstructions, providing a foundational resource for scholars studying the transmission and influence of pre-Socratic thought. This work bridges gaps in historical understanding by integrating fragmented papyrus fragments with modern scholarly interpretations.
