literature. Scholars have been enabled to realize in their own
experience some of the enthusiasm that attended the recovery of lost
classics during the Revival of Learning. They have found themselves
living in a new age of _editiones principes_, and have eagerly welcomed
the first publication of Aristotle's _Constitution of Athens_ (1891),
Herondas (1891) and Bacchylides (1897), as well as the _Persae_ of
Timotheus of Miletus (1903), with some of the _Paeans_ of Pindar (1907)
and large portions of the plays of Menander (1898-1899 and 1907). The
first four of these were first edited by F.G. Kenyon, Timotheus by von
Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, Menander partly by J. Nicole and G. Lefebre and
partly by B.P. Grenfell and A.S. Hunt, who have also produced fragments
of the _Paeans_ of Pindar and many other classic texts (including a
Greek continuation of Thucydides and a Latin epitome of part of Livy) in
the successive volumes of the _Oxyrhynchus papyri_ and other kindred
publications.
