History of Classical Scholarship

Aims & Scope

History of Classical Scholarship (HCS) is an online academic journal that sets out to be the first periodical exclusively devoted to the history of the studies on the Greek and Roman worlds, in a broad and interdisciplinary sense. We welcome scientific contributions on any aspects of the history of classical studies, in any geographical context, from the Middle Ages to the late twentieth century (except for works on living scholars), and are keen to host papers covering the whole range of the discipline: from ancient history to literary studies, from epigraphy and numismatics to art history and archaeology, from textual criticism to religious and linguistic studies. We are also keen to publish studies exploring the scholarship on cultures and polities that interacted with the Greeks and the Romans, as well as the aspects of classical antiquity that have been underrepresented in scholarly debates. We welcome the publication of significant items from the Nachlässe of classical scholars, including letters that may shed light on matters of historical or historiographical interest. Whilst classical reception studies do not fall within the brief of HCS , the journal welcomes submissions on the engagement with the Classics in modern literature or political discourses, as long as they contribute to the elucidation and further understanding of ancient sources or historical problems.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
