Abstract
The need to establish a definitive list of the works of Psellos, one of the most important and neglected Byzantine authors, has long been recognized, as have the difficulties facing this task. The works themselves number in the hundreds, are found in hundreds of manuscripts, and have not all been published. There is no standard system of Latin titles by which to refer to them (cf. Plutarch's Moralia). The editions themselves are sometimes inaccessible, and the secondary bibliography has been produced in at least half a dozen languages. Between 1995 and 1998, and in ignorance of Moore's (M.) ongoing project, I prepared two bibliographies, one of the editions of Psellos' works and one of secondary literature, which I announced in my study of the Chronographia. I did not include publications pre-1800 and I did not actually produce a list of Psellos' works, only of their modern editions, listed under the editor's name and referring their contents to the corresponding text in the Teubner series (where available, otherwise giving the Greek title). This latter choice was a concession to the habit that prevails in our field of citing texts by the page number of the latest edition rather than by title and section or line number. This makes footnotes unhelpful (it is often unclear what kind of text is being cited), and makes them obsolete when new editions appear. Moreover, it reveals a certain lack of respect for the text as work of literature, implying that all “pages” are one undifferentiated mass of “information” that does not have a purpose, identity, or shape of its own.
