![]() In this edition, on the other hand, not only do I print and comment on all the poems ascribed to Philodemos (including several about which there are some doubts and two which are clearly not by him), I have also had the opportunity to treat a recently published papyrus which contains a list of incipits to many poems known to belong to Philodemos and, it seems, to many more which may also belong to him. Kaibel furthermore omitted or discussed only briefly a number of poems whose erotic contents he thought unworthy of Philodemos, even though Cicero tells us that Philodemos' poems were full of such themes. Among the very best of the epigrammatists gathered by Philip of Thessalonica, an associate of Vergil and other Latin poets, and a literary critic, Philodemos has received only one separate edition and commentary, that of Kaibel in 1885, a brief Programmschrift of 27 pages, not much longer than the space allotted him by Gow and Page and earlier commentators of the Greek Anthology.
