This series lists and describes the Latin translations of ancient Greek authors and the Latin commentaries on ancient Latin (and Greek) authors up to the year 1600. A contribution to the history of classical scholarship, it is intended to illustrate the impact which the literary heritage of ancient Greece and Rome had upon the literature, learning, and thought of those long centuries of Western history usually known as the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The articles in Volume X represent various fields (literature, history, and philosophy) and span a vast period of time, from the sixth century B.C. (Pindar) to the sixth century A.D. (Agathias).

Founded in 1946 by Paul Oskar Kristeller, the Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum has become an indispensable research tool for scholars interested in the history of the classical tradition in the West during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Each article treats a separate classical author, beginning with a detailed essay on the author’s reception from antiquity to A.D. 1600. This ‘Fortuna’ is followed by a comprehensive list both of manuscript and printed commentaries on each Latin author and, in the case of Greek authors, a list of Latin translations as well. Since the publication of the first volume in 1960, the Catalogus has published articles on nearly a hundred classical authors, with dozens more in active preparation. The project boasts an international team of contributors from fourteen countries in Europe and North America. Given the ever-growing interest in the history of classical reception across departments of English, European languages, and comparative literature, the foundational scholarship that is the hallmark of the CTC has become more vital to research in the humanities than ever. In this volume, the tenth in the series, five full-length articles devoted to Pindar, Aelianus Tacticus, Musaeus, Agathias, and Aulus Gellius are supplemented by addenda and corrigenda to articles previously published on Lucretius, Dionysius Periegetes, and Sallust. Fondée en 1946 par Paul Oskar Kristeller, le Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum est devenu un outil de recherche indispensable pour les chercheurs intéressés par l'histoire de la tradition classique en Occident au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance. Chaque article traite un auteur classique distinct, en commençant par un essai détaillé sur la réception de l'auteur de l'antiquité à 1600 après J.-C.. Cette «fortuna» est suivie d'une liste exhaustive des commentaires tant manuscrits qu'imprimés sur chaque auteur latin et, dans le cas des auteurs grecs, également une liste des traductions latines. Depuis la publication du premier volume en 1960, le Catalogus a publié des articles sur près d'une centaine d'auteurs classiques, avec des dizaines d'autres en préparation active. Le projet bénéficie d'une équipe internationale de contributeurs provenant de quatorze pays en Europe et en Amérique du Nord.
