The editors invite submissions not only from North-American and other members
of the Society but also from non-members throughout the world; contributions
may be written in English, French, German or Italian. Manuscripts submitted
for publication should be sent to the editor at the address above. Initial submissions
can be sent as an e-mail attachment (.doc and .pdf) with little or no formatting,
but a double-spaced paper version should also be sent to make sure "we
see what you see." We also ask contributors to provide a brief abstract
of their article for inclusion in L'Année philologique, and
to secure permission for any illustration they submitt for publication.
The editors ask contributors to observe the following guide-lines in the preparation
of their manuscripts:
• Abbreviations for editions of papyri, ostraca and tablets should follow the Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets. The volume number of the edition should be included: e.g., POxy. 41.2943.1-3; 2968.5; PLond. 2.293.9-10 (p.187).
• Other abbreviations should follow those of the American Journal of Archaeology and the Transactions of the American Philological Association.
• For ancient and Byzantine authors, contributors should consult the third edition of the Oxford Classical Dictionary, ed. S. Hornblower and A. Spawforth (Oxford 1996) xxix-liv, and A Patristic Greek Lexicon, ed. G.W.H. Lampe (Oxford 1961) xi-xiv.
• For general matters of style, contributors should consult the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style or a recent issue of BASP.
When reading proof, contributors should limit themselves to correcting typographical
errors. Revisions and additions should be avoided; if necessary, they will be
made at the author's expense.
The primary author of contributions published in BASP will receive
25 offprints free of charge as well as a copy of the .pdf used for publication.
