Considering Greek statue inscriptions from the archaic and early classical periods, this book emphasizes inscription practices without losing sight of issues of semantics. The analysis focuses on the layout and graphical or ornamental features of the inscriptions. With this approach, for the first time questions of aesthetics and materiality, which were previously examined only for the statues themselves, are also brought to their inscriptions. Das Buch nimmt griechische Statueninschriften der Archaik und Frühklassik in den Blick und legt den Fokus auf die Beschriftungspraxis, ohne Fragen der Semantik zu vernachlässigen. Im Zentrum stehen dabei etwa das Layout und die graphisch-ornamentale Qualität von Schrift. Mit diesem Zugang werden erstmals Fragen der Ästhetik und Materialität, welche bisher nur für die Statuen selbst untersucht wurden, auch an ihre Inschriften herangetragen.
