Collection : Plutarchea Hypomnemata, Leuven University Press

The series Plutarchea Hypomnemata, published by Leuven University Press, focuses on the voluminous oeuvre of Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 46–120 AD), one of the most prolific and multifaceted authors of the ancient Greek world. Nearly all of his works illustrate both his intelligent interpretation and appropriation of the Greek tradition, as well as his critical interaction with contemporary society.

His work exerted an immense influence on the education of the Western intelligentsia up to the nineteenth century. The second half of the twentieth century witnessed a renaissance of scholarly research on his works, with the international Plutarch society acting as a forceful catalyst.

The editors of Plutarchea Hypomnemata welcome monographs that explore specific themes developed in one or more Plutarchan writings, offer a thorough interpretation of and/or commentary on a particular text, or discuss various aspects of Plutarch's authorial activity, philosophical thinking, religious ideas, political convictions, and attitude toward history, science, and the arts. They also welcome studies that situate him in broader ideological and literary contexts and/or in a contemporary political, social, and religious context.
