About this series

The Corpus aims to illustrate all the ancient Greek pottery in public and private collections.

There is a wide spread of material. Bronze Age Greek, Cypriot, local Italian, Etruscan, and the local styles of the Archaic Greek city-states all appear beside the more familiar Athenian black and red figure.The large format allows all pieces to be fully illustrated, and there are profile drawings of the more interesting shapes, as an aid to the study of potting as well as painting. There is a full commentary on each vase.

The Academy's series forms part of an international Corpus sponsored by the Union Académique Internationale.

The British committee is chaired by Sir John Boardman, FBA.

British Academy fascicules are published by Oxford University Press. Some older fascicules are available from Oxbow Books.

Note that not all "Great Britain" fascicules are published by the British Academy (e.g. some are published by British Museum Press - as indicated in the list).
