Bibliography

Bibliographies of primary and secondary literature about or of relevance to paradoxography can be found on the Paradoxography website and on Zotero.

Although the paradoxographical texts have been collected in scholarly editions in the original Greek or Latin, the secondary literature on the texts themselves was for a long time relatively sparse. 

However, there has been a surge of interest in recent years, resulting not only in new editions of the texts themselves along with translation and commentary, but also in a growing body of secondary literature on the works and their contexts. In addition to this, their nature as compilations from and sources for a much wider range of factual literature means that there had already been a considerable body of modern work that is of relevance to their study. 

Apart from the subject-matter of the texts themselves, there are wider and more diffuse issues such as the purpose of (and audiences for) paradoxography, and its relation to cultural, social and literary contexts.
