Wilamowitz had sent Diels' letter to Kaibel, who did not return it. The matter concerns the newly discovered Athenaion Politeia3 and the projected edition by Wilamowitz and Kaibel. The letter casts valuable light on Wilamowitz' and Kaibel's collaboration that resulted in their influential edition. We are grateful to Dr H. Rohlfing, Director of the Handschriftenabteilung of the Niedersachsische Staatsund Universitats bibliothek, Gottingen, for owner's permission to publish. The text with Wilamowitz' accompanying letter to Kaibel and Kaibel's reply to him follows. All three texts are published here for the first time. The writers' peculiarities of orthography, punctuation and capitalization have been preserved. A fuller context will be available when the Wilamowitz-Kaibel Corpus is published.Read More
