The historian's craft in the age of Herodotus
The origins and development of Greek historiography cannot be properly understood unless early historical writings are situated in the framework of late archaic and early classical Greek culture and society. Contextualization opens up new perspectives on the subject in The Historian's Craft in the Age of Herodotus. At the same time, such writings offer significant insights into how works of Herodotus reflect the attitude of fifth-century Greeks towards the transmission and manipulation of knowledge about the past. Essays by an international range of experts explore all aspects of the topic and, at the same time, make a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing debates concerning literacy and oral culture.

Christianity and the Transformation of the Book: Origen, Eusebius, and the Library of Caesarea/What Was History? The Art of History in Early Modern Europe
Understanding what history is, was, and does, Grafton believes, requires understanding the continuing tensions, re-evaluations, and paradoxical relationships between backward-looking, text-reading, humanists and up-todate, text-dissecting, critical historians. In her view (and that of Grafton), Origen's Christianity pushed him into a financially expensive, structurally unique, book-making project that, amazingly for a Hellenistic Roman, involved the study of barbarian languages for the purpose of improving the quality of a barbarian text-the Hebrew scriptures. Critical history needed to approach ancient books with a willingness to undermine the credibility of witnesses by using critical analysis of witnessings. Christianity and the Transformation of the Book is about how Origen and Eusebius not only encouraged the development of the book and textual scholarship in general, but how they also developed early forms of critical behind-the-text methods of rooting out errors and forgery.
