Max Georg Friedrich Carstenn (1888-1970), classical philologist and secondary school teacher. Carstenn studied classical philology and spent much of his professional life teaching at secondary schools, including posts in Thorn (West Prussia) and later at the Staatliches Gymnasium in Göttingen, where he taught Greek and German. He published several school editions and educational works on classical authors.

Eduard Lisco (1879-1941), classical philologist and secondary school teacher. From 1924 Lisco was director of the Staatliches Gymnasium in Göttingen. With Max Carstenn he co-edited and published Greek text and commentaries on Thucydides for the Teubner Schülerausgaben (school editions). Lisco's career was affected by political developments after 1933; as an advocate of the Weimar Republic he came under pressure from the National Socialist regime and was demoted.

Greek text of selected passages from the History, accompanied by illustrative plates and maps. Carstenn and Lisco provided a commentary on the selected texts in two volumes published in 1930 (Books 1-4) and 1931 (Books 5-8) – see Carstenn-Lisco 1930 and 1931. Carstenn revised and reissued his selection in 1940 – see Carstenn 1940.
