All the works listed below are editions in the sense that they contain the
Greek text of the Geography.
Most of the editions listed 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 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 begins with the most recent edition. All editions were
initially intended to cover the entire seventeen books of the Geography.
Not all achieved their goal. Consequently, some fall short of the full
seventeen books.
