All the works listed below are editions in the sense that they contain the
Greek text of the Geography. Most of the editions listed below are
critical editions, i.e. they are based on a comparison of the thirty or so
manuscripts of the Geography which survive.
The editor of a critical edition notes where the wording of one manuscript
differs from the wording in other manuscripts and makes a decision as to
which wording is more likely to have featured in the original. The edited
text reflects these decisions, with a record of rejected wording provided at
the foot of each page in the critical apparatus. Sometimes, even where the manuscripts
agree with each other, the editor may have reason to believe that their
wording differs from the original, since the process of copying and recopying
from antiquity to the Middle Ages has inevitably produced errors of
transcription. On the other hand, some errors may go back to Strabo himself.
For the history of attempts, over the last century and a half, to produce a
critical edition of all seventeen books of the Geography, see Radt
(1991) and Brodersen (2003).
This following list of editions begins with the most recent. All were
initially intended to cover the entire seventeen books of the Geography.
Not all achieved their goal. Consequently, some editions listed below fall
short of the full seventeen books.
