It provides biographical information about each author, such as dates, place of birth, and literary activity, as well as a list of their extant works and print publications. This volume encompasses more than 4,400 authors and 17,000 individual works. It offers a concise and authoritative literary history of Greek literature and is an indispensable reference source for its study.

"This work significantly updates a reference guide that catalogues the Greek texts, from Homer to selected authors up into the nineteenth century, present in the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, as well as works known to the project but not yet present in the online databank. The level of detail is impressive and the coverage unmatched in any other source."—Donald J. Mastronarde, Melpomene Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Classical Languages and Literature, University of California, Berkeley
"This will be an indispensable and handy tool for any of the thousands of scholars who use the Thesaurus daily, worldwide, and shall serve the wider community of anyone interested in the history of the Greek language and the Greek literary and discursive tradition. A fundamental starting and reference point for further research."—Stratis Papaioannou, Professor of Philology, University of Crete
