Summary: | Biographies of 50 classical scholars of the past 200 years, including those working in history, architecture, art history, linguistics, and other disciplines studying Greek and Latin antiquity. The subjects were chosen for the impact of their content or method on subsequent work in their field, so anyone whose views remain heterodox is excluded. Most of the subjects and contributors are German. Selected primary and secondary bibliographies are provided, including the location of archival material.
