The Sather Lectures - now referred to as The Sather Classical Lectures on the University of California Press website - began in the 1920's from a professorship funded by a grant from Jane Sather, who also gave the funds for the Sather Gate and the Sather Tower at the University of California Berkeley. It has been an interesting and extremely successful series, with most titles going though multiple printings or and editions. The University of California Press shows (as of April 2018) 31 of the titles as still in print. The press published a history of the lectureship in 1965: Fifty years of Sathers : the Sather professorship of classical literature in the University of California, Berkeley, 1913/4-1964/4 , by Sterling Dow.
A complete list of the holders of the professorship is at Past and Future Sather Professors. This PagesOfPages listing provides slightly more bibliographical detail, as well as links to assist in locating copies.
The sequence numbers are assigned on publication; they do not represent the order in which the authors held their appointments. A few of the titles did not appear until 10 or 15 years after the date of the appointment; in a few cases no book has ever been published.
Arrangement is by publication sequence, each entry in the series is given a volume number by the publisher.
