Note 1059 — Chapter I · THE ELDER PLINY: FLAVIAN SCIENCE AND HISTORY

This is well summarized in E. Sellers’s introd. to The Elder Pliny’s Chaps. on Hist. of Art, 1896, where attention is directed to relevant works by Schreiber, Furtwängler, Oehmichen, Robert, L. Urlichs, his son H. L. Urlichs, and others. Münzer, Zur Kunstgesch. des Pl., examined the Greek bases for Pliny’s history of art in Herm., xxx. (1895), pp. 499-547. To this list may be added Kalkmann’s Die Quellen der Kunstgesch. des Pl., Berl., 1898. He denies Pliny’s indebtedness to Pasiteles of Naples included in the indices, and maintains that Pliny here relied instead on a chronological compilation by Apollodorus as well as a current catalogue of artists.
