This quarto edition was reprinted in 1556 in octavo. In addition to the two poems of Sappho already printed, we have in this volume also, for the first time, the ode beginning φαίνεταί μοι ἴσος θεοίσιν.

This volume of the Egypt Exploration Society contains the results of an examination of the remains of what is apparently the sixth papyrus of Sappho so far obtained from Oxyrhynchus. The editors assign the fragments conjecturally to her fourth book, but these remains are so scanty and disconnected that their chief interest is etymological and dialectic. The editors state that the remains of at least eight poems can be distinguished in the papyrus numbered 1787.
Edmonds, J. M. Lyra Graeca, being the Remains of all the Greek Lyric Poets from Eumelus to Timotheus, excepting Pindar. Newly edited and translated by J. M. Edmonds, etc. In Three Volumes. London and New York, 1922.
Volume I contains a complete series of the known poems and fragments of Sappho, including the latest discoveries. Authorities are quoted in their original language and translations of the remarks of these authorities and of the fragments are given. The latest discoveries are extensively emended, necessarily so owing to the very defective state of the papyri from which they come.
The foregoing list does not include books which contain merely a reference to Sappho, or a short quotation from her works either in English or in Greek, with no bearing on the bibliography of the subject.
