There is thus an increase of about 10%compared with the previous
decade. In RRS the following prediction was made (p. xiv): ‘It may be
concluded that scholarly output on Philo and related subjects is still on
theincrease,butthatitshowssignsofstabilizingatanaverageofabout
100 items a year.’ This prediction has proved fairly accurate, except for the
exceptionally fertile years of 1998, 2003 and 2004, the numbers of which
were partly fuelled by the publication of some volumes of collected essays
(see 9865, 20305, 20326, 20429, 20480). If a prediction may be made
this time, it might be that the inexorable rise of electronic publishing
will make the task of the bibliographer much more difficult, and that the
number of printed publications may well start to decrease.
