Bonhffer, Adolf. 1890-1911. For the last century, Bonhffer was THE book(s) to read when studying Epictetus. Bonhffer wrote three books on Epictetus from 1890 to 1911. The second

book has been translated into English; the other two books are in German. The 2nd book is actually the 2nd volume of the first; indexes in the second refer to the first.

Bibliographies by Scholars
Oldfather, W. A. 1927. Contributions Toward A Bibliography of Epictetus Urbana: University of Illinois Press. Oldfather spent much of his life studying Epictetus, hunting down manuscripts, finding various editions and reprints of the same author, etc. While the name of the work says 'A bibliography of Epictetus,' this and the following book are really almost entirely 'a bibliography of the Encheiridion.' He organizes the various books on Epictetus into Greek Text, English Translations, Latin Translations, ancient commentaries, etc. He also includes a numbering system for cataloguing all the books. A supplement containing corrections and addenda was printed posthumously in 1952.

Miscellaneous Philosophical Greek Texts

Joannes Stobaeus (Greek: ), so called from his native place Stobi in North Macedonia (Roman province), was the compiler of a valuable series of extracts from Greek authors. Various versions exist. Iannou Stobaiou Anthologion 1822. Ioannis Stobaei Eclogarum physicarum et ethicarum libri duo by Stobaeus 1869. There are various reprint editions available on Google. Stobaeus collected a number of Greek philosophical fragments from various authors (including the fragments of Epictetus). This work is cited by many modern

day commentators. Stobaeus collected the sayings and arranged them into chapters titled 'Concerning...'. More to come - I'm working through the online Google books to figure out the various editions. The Fragments in the Loeb Edition vol. 2 are from Strobaeus.
