J. O. Urmson, trans. Simplicius: On Aristotle's Physics 4.1-5, 10-14. Ithaca: Cornell University Press 1992. Pp. 225,US $47.95 (cloth: ISBN 0-8014-2817-3).This latest addition to the series of translations of Late Antique philosophy edited by Sorabji is a companion to Urmson’s translation of Simplicius’ Corollaries on Place and Time and so includes only Simplicius on Aristotle on Place and Time. Thus, an important gap, Simplicius on Aristotle’s Physics 4.6-9 (the void), which one hopes will soon be filled. Urmson departs rarely and moderately from the text of H. Diels CAG 9 (1882) and supplies few notes (some by Sorabji), in keeping with the aim of the series to make the philoso­ phy accessible in a modem language (191-200). A brief bibliography (188-90) is provided, an English-Greek glossary (201-3), and a more useful Greek-Eng- lish glossary and index (204-220), though unfonmately the Greek is tran­ scribed. [introduction]
