Klaus Hallof und die Berliner Inscriptiones Graecae

Abstract

Summary Klaus Hallof and the Berlin Inscriptiones Graecae. This contribution is a review of two volumes of the Berlin edition of the Corpus of the Ancient Greek Inscriptions. Especially one of them, number XII 4 (the islands Kos and Kalymna), has luckily come to an end after more than one century’s work. Klaus Hallof, who has overseen the ‘Arbeitsstelle’ of the IG at the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences since 1990, gave a final report of the problems in publishing that volume, the political and the objective ones. The paper is resuming these problems as far as legal historians are concerned. The technical problems of IG X 2,1s2 (Thessaloniki) are mentioned too.
