In the first place, the survey of the commentaries on the Categories with which Simplicius provides us, as well as the examination undertaken by J. M. Dillon of the fragments of Iamblichus’ commentaries on Plato’s dialogues, show as clearly as possible that the form of the continuous commentary was utilized by the Neoplatonists right from the start, and that it therefore was not introduced by Syrianus. Secondly, an attentive comparison between those Neoplatonic commentaries on the Categories that have come down to us proves that a genuine doctrinal continuity existed from Porphyry to Simplicius. In addition, I consider it likely that an analogous continuity with regard to the tendency to harmonize the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle also existed in the Neoplatonic commentaries on the Metaphysics, of which only that of Syrianus (partial), and that of Asclepius-Ammonius (partial) have come down to us, whereas those of Porphyry and Iamblichus are lost, but attested, and that Syrianus’ attitude, which he manifests in the introduction to his commentary on book My the Metaphysics, is therefore no more original than his use of the form of the continuous commentary. In conclusion, Syrianus was certainly a great philosopher, but, as far as the precise points dealt with in this article are concerned, he was not the innovator he has been made out to be.

Der Text beschreibt den Zustand des philosophischen Unterrichts während der römischen Kaiserzeit. Obwohl die bekannten Philosophenschulen in Athen nicht mehr existierten, hatten die vier philosophischen Richtungen des Hellenismus dennoch Verbreitung gefunden und wurden in privaten Schulen unterrichtet. Diese Schulen waren jedoch meist kurzlebig und hingen vom Erfolg des Lehrers ab. Philosophie wurde an den griechischen Gymnasien nicht gelehrt, stattdessen konzentrierte man sich auf Grammatik und Rhetorik. Im lateinischen Bereich führten enge Beziehungen führender Römer zu stoischen Philosophen zur Verbreitung der Lehren. Der Philosophieunterricht begann meist erst nach der Pubertät, und das Alter spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Seelenleitung. Das Greisenalter wurde als optimal angesehen, da der körperliche Verfall der freien Betätigung des Geistes entgegenkomme. Das Bild des philosophischen Unterrichtsbetriebes in der Kaiserzeit war somit sehr komplex. [introduction/conclusion]

This article represents a new contribution to the author's debate with C. Steel as to the authenticity of the Commentary on Aristotle's De Anima, attributed by the manuscripts to the 6th-century A.D. Neoplatonist philosopher Simplicius. On the basis of what he claims are stylistic and doctrinal differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other commentaries, Steel has argued that the In DA cannot be by Simplicius, but is instead to be attributed to his contemporary Priscian of Lydia. In the present article, it is argued (1) that the alleged stylistic differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other commentaries can be explained by other considerations: in particular, the vocabulary and style of the Neoplatonist commentators is largely determined by the text commented upon, as well as the level of studies of the audience for whom each commentary is intended. (2) The alleged doctrinal differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other com- mentaries simply do not exist. Careful examination of Steel's arguments shows that they suffer from serious methodological flaws, including the failure to take into consideration Simplicius' Commentary on the Manual of Epictetus, and the ambiguity of Neoplatonic philosophical terminology. It is concluded that in the whole of Steel's argumentation, there is not one decisive argument which would allow us to conclude that the commentary on the De Anima, attributed by direct and indirect tradition to Simplicius, is inauthentic.

Je résume : en ce qui concerne la possibilité pour les sensations d'avoir conscience de leur activité, Pseudo-Philopon se distingue aussi bien de Priscien que de Simplicius, puisqu’il n'attribue plus le moindre rôle à la sensation commune, mais accorde ce privilège à une faculté de l'âme raisonnable, à la faculté d'attention.

Opening with an overview of the historical development of the continuous philosophical commentary, this study aims to bring out the profound differences between modem philosophicalcommentaries and the Late Antique commentaries on Plato and Aristotle. The modem commentariesare concerned to explain the texts for an audience which is not defined. By contrast, the ancient commentaries belonged to a precise programme of reading the texts concerned, a programme which corresponded both to levels of knowledge and levels of spiritual progression. They were therefore addressed, depending on the type of text, to beginners, to intermediate or to very advanced students; and their content and method varied greatly according to the level of the intended readership. Furthermore, explaining the text was never an end in itself; the commentary was intended not so much to expand knowledge as to assist in the acquisition of a particular ethical attitude, leading to a particular way of life.

The historian Agathias (Hist. II 30.3-31.4) relates that under the Emperor Justinian seven philosophers (Damascius, Simplicius, Eulamius, Priscianus, Hermeias, Diogenes, and Isidorus) sought refuge in Persia because of their own country’s anti-pagan laws but that they ultimately returned in 532 to the Roman Empire. There have been many hypotheses about the fate of these philosophers after their return. Most recently M. Tardieu has argued that these philosophers went to Harran, a town that was located on the Persian frontier and that remained mostly pagan until the tenth century. This hypothesis, which M. Tardieu had backed with a number of arguments, has found many echoes, both positive and negative, in subsequent secondary literature. Yet the complexity of the issue has never really been faced by Tardieu’s critics. For example, the fact that, according to Arab sources, Simplicius could found a famous school of mathematics has been completely neglected, as has the fact that details of the dogmas of Manicheanism, which he obtained through his encounter with a member of that sect, enable one to envision a Mesopotamian locale for this encounter. The present study aims at taking stock of the elements of this controversy, beginning with a detailed article by D. Watts and a review by C. Luna. Watts mostly bases his criticisms of M. Tardieu and me on Luna’s summary. In the conclusion (pages 58-59), I summarize the main points that seem to me to confirm M. Tardieu’s hypothesis. [Author's abstract]

Tardieu and me on Luna\u2019s summary. In the conclusion (pages 58-59), I summarize the main points that seem to me to confirm M. Tardieu\u2019s hypothesis.

Cet article représente une contribution de plus à ma critique générale des thèses de Praechter selon lesquelles l'école néoplatonicienne dite «d'Alexandrie» se distinguerait, non seulement par le lieu de son enseignement, de celle dite «d'Athènes», mais encore et surtout par ses doctrines philosophiques et par son attitude envers T œuvre d'Aristote. La comparaison entre elles des préfaces des cinq commentaires néoplatoniciens des Catégories d'Aristote. dont l'un, celui de Simplicius, appartiendrait, selon Praechter, à l'école d'Athènes, et ceux des quatre autres à l'école d'Alexandrie, fait apparaître la concordance fondamentale de la philosophie néoplatonicienne qui était enseignée à Athènes avec celle qui était enseignée à Alexandrie: toutes deux interprètent la philosophie d'Aristote dans la même perspective néoplatonicienne et la même volonté d'harmoniser Platon et Aristote.

Vom 28. September bis zum 1. Oktober 1985 fand in Paris in der Fondation Hugot du Collège de France ein internationales Colloquium statt, das zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Klassischen Philologie und der Geschichte der Philosophie den neuplatonischen Philosophen Simplikios zum Gegenstand hatte. Das Ziel des Colloquiums war es, einen ersten Gedankenaustausch derjenigen, nicht sehr zahlreichen, Wissenschaftler zu ermöglichen, die etwa seit einem Jahrzehnt begonnen haben, das philosophische Denken des Simplikios systematisch zu erfassen, gesicherte Text grundlagen durch die Erstellung neuer kritischer Editionen zu liefern und die Texte selbst durch Übersetzungen einem weiteren, philosophisch interessierten Publikum zugänglich zu machen.

The present study, as the title indicates, brings some supplementary information and minor corrections to my article on La tradition manuscrite du commentaire de Simplicius sur le « Manuel » d'Épictète, which appeared in volume VIII (1978) if the Revue d'Histoire des Textes (pp. 1-108). As part of these addenda, I have identified two new Greek texts, contained in the Neapolitans III. B. 12 : one fragment of Aristotle's Metaphysics, and another fragment of the commentary by Simplicius on Aristotle's De caelo ; each of these fragments is the length of a quaternion.

Wir haben gesehen, dass Simplikios seiner kurzen Abhandlung über den Manichäismus einen durchaus kunstvollen Aufbau zu geben wusste. Obwohl sie in den großen Zusammenhang seines Epiktetkommentars eingebaut ist, bildet sie doch in sich ein abgerundetes Ganzes. Was die Art seiner Argumentation betrifft, so findet sich in ihr wohl kaum ein Gedanke, der sich nicht schon so oder ähnlich bei Alexander von Lykopolis, Titus von Bostra, Epiphanios oder Augustinus ausgedrückt fände. Das soll natürlich nicht unbedingt heißen, dass Simplikios einen von diesen Schriftstellern direkt benutzt hätte; vielmehr ist damit zu rechnen, dass sich sehr bald ein festes Schema antimanichäischer Polemik herausgebildet hatte – etwa so, wie es in hellenistischer Zeit bestimmte Argumentationsschemata gab, die zum Gemeingut der philosophischen Widerlegung von Epikureern und Stoikern geworden waren. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdient die kleine Abhandlung des Simplikios eher dadurch, dass sie Anspielungen auf Lehren der Manichäer enthält, deren Hintergrund, soweit ich sehe, bis heute nicht genügend erhellt ist. In welcher Umgebung hat man den manichäischen Weisen zu suchen, dem Simplikios seine Information über die manichäische Kosmogonie verdankt? Stammte diese Bekanntschaft aus der Zeit seiner Studien in Alexandrien, oder hatte Simplikios mit dem Manichäer anlässlich seines Aufenthaltes in Persien bei dem philosophisch interessierten König Chosrau sprechen können, der ja für seine Diskussionsveranstaltungen – unter anderem über die Frage, ob man ein oder zwei Prinzipien aller Dinge anzunehmen habe – bekannt war? Wie Prächter aus philosophisch-dogmatischen Gründen auf eine frühe, d. h. vor der Übersiedlung des Simplikios nach Athen gelegene Entstehungszeit des Epiktetkommentars schließt, besteht meines Erachtens kein Grund, da keineswegs wichtige Differenzen zwischen dem Neuplatonismus des Epiktetkommentars und dem der athenischen Schule bestehen. Im Gegenteil, stellenweise ist ein starker Einfluss des Proklos nachzuweisen. Aus der Bemerkung des Simplikios, dass ihm die Gelegenheit, Epiktet zu kommentieren, unter den gegenwärtigen Zeitumständen sehr willkommen gewesen sei, glaube ich eher auf eine nach dem Edikt Justinians gelegene Entstehungszeit schließen zu dürfen. Eine Begegnung mit manichäischen Lehren im asiatischen Bereich und deren Aufnahme in den Kommentar lagen somit immerhin im Bereich des Möglichen. Das Anliegen des vorliegenden Aufsatzes ist es daher, diese teilweise aus den textlichen Veränderungen noch deutlicher hervortretenden Probleme, auf die ich im Zusammenhang mit den Arbeiten zu einer Neuausgabe des Epiktetkommentars gestoßen bin, wieder einmal aufzuwerfen und, wenn möglich, dem Interesse der Fachleute dieses so schwierigen Gebietes zu empfehlen.

Je résume : en ce qui concerne la possibilité pour les sensations d'avoir conscience de leur activité, Pseudo-Philopon se distingue aussi bien de Priscien que de Simplicius, puisqu’il n'attribue plus le moindre rôle à la sensation commune, mais accorde ce privilège à une faculté de l'âme raisonnable, à la faculté d'attention.

Vom 28. September bis zum 1. Oktober 1985 fand in Paris in der Fondation Hugot du Collège de France ein internationales Colloquium statt, das zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Klassischen Philologie und der Geschichte der Philosophie den neuplatonischen Philosophen Simplikios zum Gegenstand hatte. Das Ziel des Colloquiums war es, einen ersten Gedankenaustausch derjenigen, nicht sehr zahlreichen, Wissenschaftler zu ermöglichen, die etwa seit einem Jahrzehnt begonnen haben, das philosophische Denken des Simplikios systematisch zu erfassen, gesicherte Text grundlagen durch die Erstellung neuer kritischer Editionen zu liefern und die Texte selbst durch Übersetzungen einem weiteren, philosophisch interessierten Publikum zugänglich zu machen.

The historian Agathias (Hist. II 30.3-31.4) relates that under the Emperor Justinian seven philosophers (Damascius, Simplicius, Eulamius, Priscianus, Hermeias, Diogenes,  and  Isidorus)  sought  refuge  in  Persia  because  of  their  own  country’s  anti-pagan laws but that they ultimately returned in 532 to the Roman Empire. There have been many hypotheses about the fate of these philosophers after their return.  Most  recently  M.  Tardieu  has  argued  that  these  philosophers  went  to  Harran, a town that was located on the Persian frontier and that remained mostly pagan until the tenth century. This hypothesis, which M. Tardieu had backed with a number of arguments, has found many echoes, both positive and negative, in subsequent secondary literature. Yet the complexity of the issue has never really been  faced  by  Tardieu’s  critics.  For  example,  the  fact  that,  according  to  Arab  sources, Simplicius could found a famous school of mathematics has been completely  neglected,  as  has  the  fact  that  details  of  the  dogmas  of  Manicheanism,  which he obtained through his encounter with a member of that sect, enable one to envision a Mesopotamian locale for this encounter. The present study aims at taking stock of the elements of this controversy, beginning with a detailed article by  D.  Watts  and  a  review  by  C.  Luna.  Watts  mostly  bases  his  criticisms  of  M. Tardieu and me on Luna’s summary. In the conclusion (pages 58-59), I summarize the main points that seem to me to confirm M. Tardieu’s hypothesis.

Der Text beschreibt den Zustand des philosophischen Unterrichts während der römischen Kaiserzeit. Obwohl die bekannten Philosophenschulen in Athen nicht mehr existierten, hatten die vier philosophischen Richtungen des Hellenismus dennoch Verbreitung gefunden und wurden in privaten Schulen unterrichtet. Diese Schulen waren jedoch meist kurzlebig und hingen vom Erfolg des Lehrers ab. Philosophie wurde an den griechischen Gymnasien nicht gelehrt, stattdessen konzentrierte man sich auf Grammatik und Rhetorik. Im lateinischen Bereich führten enge Beziehungen führender Römer zu stoischen Philosophen zur Verbreitung der Lehren. Der Philosophieunterricht begann meist erst nach der Pubertät, und das Alter spielte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Seelenleitung. Das Greisenalter wurde als optimal angesehen, da der körperliche Verfall der freien Betätigung des Geistes entgegenkomme. Das Bild des philosophischen Unterrichtsbetriebes in der Kaiserzeit war somit sehr komplex. [introduction/conclusion]

Wir haben gesehen, dass Simplikios seiner kurzen Abhandlung über den Manichäismus einen durchaus kunstvollen Aufbau zu geben wusste. Obwohl sie in den großen Zusammenhang seines Epiktetkommentars eingebaut ist, bildet sie doch in sich ein abgerundetes Ganzes. Was die Art seiner Argumentation betrifft, so findet sich in ihr wohl kaum ein Gedanke, der sich nicht schon so oder ähnlich bei Alexander von Lykopolis, Titus von Bostra, Epiphanios oder Augustinus ausgedrückt fände. Das soll natürlich nicht unbedingt heißen, dass Simplikios einen von diesen Schriftstellern direkt benutzt hätte; vielmehr ist damit zu rechnen, dass sich sehr bald ein festes Schema antimanichäischer Polemik herausgebildet hatte – etwa so, wie es in hellenistischer Zeit bestimmte Argumentationsschemata gab, die zum Gemeingut der philosophischen Widerlegung von Epikureern und Stoikern geworden waren.

Besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdient die kleine Abhandlung des Simplikios eher dadurch, dass sie Anspielungen auf Lehren der Manichäer enthält, deren Hintergrund, soweit ich sehe, bis heute nicht genügend erhellt ist. In welcher Umgebung hat man den manichäischen Weisen zu suchen, dem Simplikios seine Information über die manichäische Kosmogonie verdankt? Stammte diese Bekanntschaft aus der Zeit seiner Studien in Alexandrien, oder hatte Simplikios mit dem Manichäer anlässlich seines Aufenthaltes in Persien bei dem philosophisch interessierten König Chosrau sprechen können, der ja für seine Diskussionsveranstaltungen – unter anderem über die Frage, ob man ein oder zwei Prinzipien aller Dinge anzunehmen habe – bekannt war?

Wie Prächter aus philosophisch-dogmatischen Gründen auf eine frühe, d. h. vor der Übersiedlung des Simplikios nach Athen gelegene Entstehungszeit des Epiktetkommentars schließt, besteht meines Erachtens kein Grund, da keineswegs wichtige Differenzen zwischen dem Neuplatonismus des Epiktetkommentars und dem der athenischen Schule bestehen. Im Gegenteil, stellenweise ist ein starker Einfluss des Proklos nachzuweisen. Aus der Bemerkung des Simplikios, dass ihm die Gelegenheit, Epiktet zu kommentieren, unter den gegenwärtigen Zeitumständen sehr willkommen gewesen sei, glaube ich eher auf eine nach dem Edikt Justinians gelegene Entstehungszeit schließen zu dürfen. Eine Begegnung mit manichäischen Lehren im asiatischen Bereich und deren Aufnahme in den Kommentar lagen somit immerhin im Bereich des Möglichen.

Das Anliegen des vorliegenden Aufsatzes ist es daher, diese teilweise aus den textlichen Veränderungen noch deutlicher hervortretenden Probleme, auf die ich im Zusammenhang mit den Arbeiten zu einer Neuausgabe des Epiktetkommentars gestoßen bin, wieder einmal aufzuwerfen und, wenn möglich, dem Interesse der Fachleute dieses so schwierigen Gebietes zu empfehlen.

the Revue d'Histoire des Textes (pp. 1-108). As part of these addenda, I have identified two new Greek texts, contained in the Neapolitans III.

Opening  with  an  overview  of  the  historical  development  of  the  continuous  philosophical commentary,  this study aims to bring out the profound differences between modem philosophicalcommentaries and the Late Antique commentaries on Plato and Aristotle. The modem commentariesare concerned to explain  the texts for an audience  which  is not defined.  By contrast,  the ancient commentaries belonged to a precise programme of reading the texts concerned, a programme which corresponded both to levels of knowledge and levels of spiritual progression.  They were therefore addressed, depending on the type of text, to beginners, to intermediate or to very advanced students; and  their  content and method  varied greatly  according  to  the  level  of the  intended  readership. Furthermore, explaining the text was never an end in itself;  the commentary was intended not so much to expand knowledge as to assist in the acquisition of a particular ethical attitude, leading to a particular way of life. [Author's abstract]

This article represents a new contribution to the author's debate with C. Steel as to the authenticity of the Commentary on Aristotle's De Anima, attributed by the manuscripts to the 6th-century A.D. Neoplatonist philosopher Simplicius. On the basis of what he claims are stylistic and doctrinal differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other commentaries, Steel has argued that the In DA cannot be by Simplicius, but is instead to be attributed to his contemporary Priscian of Lydia. In the present article, it is argued (1) that the alleged stylistic differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other commentaries can be explained by other considerations: in particular, the vocabulary and style of the Neoplatonist commentators is largely determined by the text commented upon, as well as the level of studies of the audience for whom each commentary is intended. (2) The alleged doctrinal differences between the In DA and Simplicius' other com- mentaries simply do not exist. Careful examination of Steel's arguments shows that they suffer from serious methodological flaws, including the failure to take into consideration Simplicius' Commentary on the Manual of Epictetus, and the ambiguity of Neoplatonic philosophical terminology. It is concluded that in the whole of Steel's argumentation, there is not one decisive argument which would allow us to conclude that the commentary on the De Anima, attributed by direct and indirect tradition to Simplicius, is inauthentic.

In the first place, the survey  of  the  commentaries  on  the  Categories with  which  Simplicius  provides  us,  as  well  as  the  examination  undertaken  by J. M. Dillon of the fragments of Iamblichus’ commentaries on Plato’s dialogues, show as clearly as possible that the form of the continuous commentary was utilized by the Neoplatonists right from the start, and that it therefore was not introduced by Syrianus. Secondly,  an  attentive  comparison  between  those  Neoplatonic  commentaries on the Categories that have come down to us proves that a  genuine  doctrinal  continuity  existed  from  Porphyry  to  Simplicius. In addition, I consider it likely that an analogous continuity with regard to the tendency to harmonize the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle also existed in the Neoplatonic commentaries on the Metaphysics, of which only that of Syrianus (partial), and that of Asclepius-Ammonius (partial) have come down to us, whereas those of Porphyry and Iamblichus are lost, but attested, and that Syrianus’ attitude,  which  he  manifests  in  the  introduction  to  his commentary on book My the Metaphysics, is therefore no more original than his use of the form of the continuous commentary. In conclusion, Syrianus was certainly a great philosopher, but, as far as the precise points dealt with in this article are concerned, he was not the innovator he has been made out to be. [conclusion, p. 419-420]
