BIBLIOGRAPHY.--The first attempt at a connected history of Greek literature was the monumental and still indispensable work of J. A. Fabricius (14 vols., 1705-1728; new ed. in 12 vols. by G. C. Harless, 1790-1809); this was followed by F. Scholl's _Hist. de la litterature grecque_ (1813). Both these works begin with the earliest times and go down to the latest period of the Byzantine empire. Of more modern and recent works the following may be mentioned: G. Bernhardy, _Grundriss der griechischen Literatur_ (1836-1845; 4th ed., 1876-1880; 5th ed. of vol. i., by R. Volkmann, 1892), chiefly confined to the poets; C. O. Muller, _History of Greek Literature_ (unfinished), written for the London Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and published in English in 1840, the translation being by G. Cornewall Lewis and J. W. Donaldson (the latter completed the work to the end of the Byzantine period for the edition of 1858; the German text was published by E. Muller in 1841; 4th ed. by E. Heitz, 1882-1884); W. Mure, _Critical History of the Language and Literature of Ancient Greece_ (1850-1857); T. Bergk, _Griechische Literaturgeschichte_ (1872-1894, vols. 2, 3, ed. G. Hinrichs, vol. 4 by R. Peppmuller) containing epos, lyric, drama down to Euripides, and the beginnings of prose; R. Nicolai, _Griechische Literaturgeschichte_ (2nd ed., 1873-1878), useful for bibliography, but in other respects unsatisfactory; J. P. Mahaffy, _Hist. of Classical Greek Literature_ (4th ed., 1903); A. and M. Croiset, _Hist. de la litterature grecque_ (1887-1899, 2nd ed. 1896); W. Christ, _Geschichte der griechischen Literatur bis auf die Zeit Justinians_ (4th ed., 1905; 5th ed., pt. i., by O. Stahlin and W. Schmid, 1908), by far the most serviceable handbook for the student. F. Susemihl's _Geschichte der griechischen Literatur in der Alexandrinerzeit_ (1891-1892) is especially valuable for its notes. Of smaller manuals the following will be found most useful: G. G. Murray, _History of Ancient Greek Literature_ (1897); F. B. Jevons, _History of Greek Literature_ (3rd ed., 1900) down to the time of Demosthenes; A. and M. Croiset, _Manuel d'hist. de la litterature grecque_ (1900; Eng. trans., by G. F. Heffelbower, N.Y., 1904); also the general sketches by U. von Wilamowitz-Mollendorff in _Die Kultur der Gegenwart_, i. 8 (1905), by A. Gercke in the _Sammlung Goschen_ (Leipzig, 2nd ed., 1905), and by R. C. Jebb in _Companion to Greek Studies_ (Cambridge, 1905). Other works generally connected with the subject are: E. Hubner, _Bibliographie der klassischen Altertumswissenschaft_ (2nd ed., 1889), pp. 161-17l; W. Engelmann, _Bibliotheca scriptorum classicorum_ (8th ed., by E. Preuss, 1880); J. B. Mayor, _Guide to the Choice of Classical Books_ (1896), p. 86; W. Kroll, _Die Altertumswissenschaft im letzten Vierteljahrhundert_ 1875-1900 (1905), p. 465 foll.; J. E. Sandys, _History of Classical
