This project, concerning the creation of a lexicon of ancient historiography, was started in 1999 by Giuseppe Nenci
as Lexicon Historiographicum Graecum; it subsequently evolved in Lexicon Historiographicum Graecum et Latinum (LHGL)
under the direction of Carmine Ampolo.
Many Italian and foreign researchers collaborate in this work, while its editorial
board is located at the Scuola Normale Superiore.
