 wrote (in the Times Literary Supplement):

The Loeb Library, with its Greek or Latin on one side of the page and its English on the other, came as a gift of freedom...The existence of the amateur was recognised by the publication of this Library, and to a great extent made respectable...The difficulty of Greek is not sufficiently dwelt upon, chiefly perhaps because the sirens who lure us to these perilous waters are generally scholars [who] have forgotten...what those difficulties are. But for the ordinary amateur they are very real and very great; and we shall do well to recognise the fact and to make up our minds that we shall never be independent of our Loeb.


Harvard University assumed complete responsibility for the series in 1989 and in recent years four or five new or re-edited volumes are published annually.

In 2001, Harvard University Press began issuing a third series of books with a similar format. The I Tatti Renaissance Library
