User:Caeciliusinhorto/Sappho bibliography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enormous quantities have been written about Sappho; this is by no means a comprehensive bibliography. As it is primarily intended to help editors who want to improve coverage of Sappho on Wikipedia, I have tended towards the works which will be most useful and accessible to the Wikipedia editor – in particular the editor of en.wikipedia. To this end, I have tried to largely include works which are widely available, ideally for free online through archive.org or the Wikipedia Library programme. I have also tried to include English-language works as much as possible; where a work was originally published in a different language and later translated into English I have given priority to the translation rather than the original. In some cases (e.g. Voigt 1971) a work is so crucial to Sappho scholarship that I have included it despite the fact that they are neither easily available, in English, or likely to be frequently cited directly on Wikipedia.

Further bibliography is available on Oxford Bibliographies Online, "Sappho", at Rutgers University's Network for the Study of Archaic and Classical Greek Song, Martin Cuypers' Hellenistic Bibliography, and Diotima's Sappho bibliography. Many of the works included in this list also contain substantial bibliographies, particularly Neri 2021 with over 70 pages of bibliographic material from the 16th century up to the date of publication.

Editions and translations

[edit]

Until 2021 the standard scholarly edition of Sappho was Voigt 1971, though it is rare and expensive. The newest scholarly edition, Neri 2021 (with Italian translation and commentary), is seeing increasing scholarly use though it has not yet fully supplanted Voigt. Neri's and Voigt's editions are both organised to follow the order of fragments in Lobel & Page 1955 (reprinted with addenda as Lobel & Page 1963, which was reissued in 1997). Minor fragments discovered up until 1974 are included in Lobel & Page 1974. A new edition by Patrick Finglass is forthcoming.

Greek texts with facing English translations are available in Campbell 1989 and Carson 2002, both of which are widely available; Campbell also contains substantial testimonia, the poetry of Alcaeus, and the incerti auctoris. Both predate the 2004 and 2014 discoveries, and though a recent Folio Society edition of Carson has been produced, it has not been updated to include the new discoveries. Four substantially complete English translations do include the 2014 discoveries: Rayor & Lardinois 2014, Lombardo 2016, Balmer 2018, and Powell 2019. Of these, Rayor & Lardinois includes slightly more of Sappho's poetry, and more comprehensive notes. A revised and expanded edition based on Neri 2021's text was published as Rayor & Lardinois 2023.

An online Digital Sappho gives the Greek text of Voigt, and the Brothers poem; it does not contain full apparatus or translations, and it has not updated e.g. its reading of fr.5 based on the 2014 discoveries, but it is usually sufficient for quick reference.

Of historical interest are editions by Bergk, Diehl, Edmonds (notorious for its speculative restorations), and Lobel. Notable historic translations include Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics by Bliss Carman, and Mary Barnard's Sappho: A New Translation.

Brothers Poem

[edit]

Much of Bierl & Lardinos 2016 focuses on the Brothers Poem. Obbink 2014 is the editio princeps.

Provenance issues

[edit]

From the initial announcement of the discovery of a new Sappho poem in 2014, there has been significant discussion surrounding the provenance of the new papyri. Along with the Brothers Poem papyrus (P. Sapph. Obbink), this also relates to the Green Collection papyri (P. GC inv. 105 frr. 1-4) whose discoveries were announced at the same time. As of 2022, P. Sapph. Obbink's current location and ownership remain unknown; the Green Collection papyri have been returned to Egypt (Sampson 2022).

Receptions

[edit]

Since the publication of DeJean 1989, this has become a very active area of Sappho scholarship; Finglass & Kelly 2021 devotes a substantial fraction of the volume to this topic. Bagordo 2012 and Schlesier 2015 both survey Sappho's reception from antiquity to the present. Whiteman 2014 surveys translations of Sappho in English from Bliss Carman to Daley & Dubois' 2011 translation.
