Verlagsinformation

The name Pauly derives from the founding editor of the Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft, the German classicist August Friedrich (von) Pauly (1796-1845). The Pauly was published in German in 68 volumes and 15 supplementary volumes between 1839 and 1980. Der kleine Pauly, published in five volumes between 1964 and 1975, is an abridged version of the Pauly. The modern successor of the Pauly, Der neue Pauly, was published in German in 15 volumes between 1996 and 2003. The New Pauly recognizes the changes and developments in scholarship and the need for a contemporary approach to the study of the ancient world of Greece and Rome and its neighbours. With Brill's New Pauly, classicists, historians, archaeologists, and other scholars around the world are presented with the English edition of Der neue Pauly.

The New Pauly has become a recognized standard reference work for students and scholars of the ancient world. It provides comprehensive coverage of the ancient world from the prehistory of the Aegean (2nd millennium BCE) to late antiquity (600-800 CE). A special section of the encyclopedia is devoted to the reception of the ancient world until the present day and the history of classical scholarship. The scholarship of the New Pauly reflects both traditional and new areas and approaches presented by internationally recognised leading experts. The articles in the New Pauly cover all aspects of the ancient world: persons, places, institutions, events, artifacts, technical terms, ideas and concepts etc. The subject goes beyond the traditional paradigm by giving special attention to the interaction between Greek and Roman culture and the neighbouring Semitic, Celtic, Germanic etc. cultures. Many articles are illustrated with maps, site plans, genealogical tables, and black-and white photographs. The New Pauly is essential to all collections supporting teaching and research in classical antiquity and the classical tradition as standard reference for students, teachers, and scholars alike.
