This chapter will examine a small aspect of the scholarly method of the commentator Simplicius. It seems appropriate to start with some justification for dealing with an author from Late Antiquity on the theme of orality and literacy, as it is generally assumed that these terms refer to the “early” stages of Greek culture when writing found its way into the intellectual activities of Greek society. As I shall discuss the methodology of a member of the Platonic school of around 530 AD, the briefest statement to qualify the terms for this period is to say that the author belonged to a highly literate and tradition-conscious movement, which taught and studied philosophy building on previous attempts at exegesis.
