This anthology of Latin graffiti texts
from Pompeii was first published in Dutch
(Hunink 2007).
A second edition, revised and translated
into German, was published in Reclams
Universal-Bibliothek, well known for its
conveniently small format and orange covers
(Hunink 2011). In the German edition, a
small number of texts from places outside
Pompeii (Boscoreale, Boscotrecase,
Herculaneum) was dropped. On the other hand,
a great number of text pictures, mostly
photographed by me from the CIL and
reprocessed by experts of Reclam, was added.
A new index of personal names was also
included.
The original
German edition was subsequently published in
Italian, without substantial changes (Hunink
2013).
The German
edition was reedited with
substantial cshanges in 2022.
The editor
of the Italian edition, mr. Gerrit van Oord,
kindly requested me to prepare a fourth
edition, in English, to serve an ever
broader international readership. I decided
to profit from this welcome opportunity to
thoroughly revise and enlarge the book. For
the sake of clarity I add a list of major
points in which the English edition now
differs from the previous three versions.
It was published in 2014.
The English edition
has now been
revised and expanded
once again,
as well as
renderend in another language,
French, thanks to the invaluable
help of my colleague Marc Smeets
(2022)
