Series IV. Corpus Topographicum Pompeianum production materials, 1776-1996,
undated, bulk, 1960-1992
Physical Description: 101.6 linear feet, 43 flat file folders, 21 rolls
Scope and Content Note
Production materials for Vander Poel's multi-volume publication Corpus Topographicum
Pompeianum (hereafter, CTP) comprise this series. The CTP was intended as a reference
tool, providing indices, concordances, bibliography and up-dated plans for scholars studying
Pompeii. The project was begun in 1958 at the urging of Matteo Della Corte, Tatiana
Warscher and Axel Boëthius, and work continued into the 1990s. The earlier material in the
date range of the series consists primarily of reproductions of eighteenth- and nineteenth
century materials made for research purposes. Although published under Vander Poel's
name, the series was actually created by the Research in Campanian Archaeology group
(RICA), which consisted of Vander Poel and a staff of researchers, especially Laurentino
García y García and Armando La Porta.
As with any publication with such a long history, the CTP went through many different
configurations, with varying titles and volume numbers, over the years of planning. In the
end, five volumes, II, III, IIIA, IV and V, were published. Of particular interest to scholars,
however, is the material compiled by Vander Poel but not published. Five more volumes, I,
IIIB, IIIC, IIID and IVA, were left in various states of preparation and there is further material
not clearly given a placement in the numbering system.
Much of the material presented in this subseries lacks a specific date and individual items
are therefore marked as undated. However, for original research a date within the range
from circa 1958 to 1996 can be assumed.
Arrangement
The CTP production materials are arranged in twelve subseries. The first ten subseries
correspond to the volumes of the CTP series and are presented in numerical order. The last
two subseries contain material outside the current volume numbering system, including the
alphabetical and numerical indices and general material.
