Kritische Zeitschrift für die gesamte klassische Altertumswissenschaft (Gnomon: Critical Journal of the Entire Field of Scholarship on Classical Antiquity) is a German review journal covering the classics.[1] It was established in 1925, first published by Verlag Weidmann and since 1949 by Verlag C.

Since 1950, odd-numbered volumes contain a "Bibliographic Supplement" of new books, dissertations and submitted journal articles, in addition to the regular contents. The editors-in-chief are Hans-Joachim Gehrke, Martin Hose, Henner von Hesberg, Ernst Vogt, and Paul Zanker.

In 1994 the Gnomon Bibliographische Datenbank (Gnomon bibliographic database) was established, containing data on Gnomon articles, monographs, book chapters, journal articles from over 200 classics journals.[4] Entries were in German or English.
