# Oxford Clarendon Press publishes Bailey’s Epicurus: The Extant Remains

Date: 1926

## The fact

In 1926 Clarendon Press issued Bailey’s Greek-English Extant Remains with commentary. The book is a completed teaching edition beside Loeb Diogenes. It is not a new papyrus find.

## Context

Bailey’s commentary made the letters usable in anglophone philosophy courses. It also smoothed a system out of fragments. Use it as access, not as a photograph of 300 BCE.

Epicurus is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, museum, archive, or agency page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
