Seleucid and Arsacid Studies. A progress report on developments in Source Research. 2003, 104 p., 1 carte. -

Since the publication of his history of the Arsacids (1993) and the fall of teh Seleucids (1999), Pr. Wolski has been continuing his work on the sources for the history of the Hellenistic Orient. It has led him to new research results based on the Graeco-Latin sources, primarily Strabo and Justin. The analysis of recently discovered Babylonian sources has proved useful as well. The dozen or so reviews of his recent work which have appeared in Poland and abroad called for a response. All these factors, enhanced by the author's new ideas on the subject, have contributed to the emergence of this book on the history of the Seleucids and Arsacids.
