| The main problem with which we shall be concerned is the authorship of the versions of De Caelo from the Greek that appeared during the thirteenth century. But it will be best to begin with a recapitulation of the facts ascertained by previous writers concerning the Arabic-Latin versions in which this treatise first became known in the lands of Western Europe. Until the middle of the thirteenth century, the work was commonly known and quoted in one of two versions: 1. A version of the text alone, beginning: Summa cognicionis nature et scientie ipsam demonstrantis. Its author, as we know from manuscript authority, was Gerard of Cremona (d. 1187). 2. A version accompanying the commentary of Averroes, beginning: Maxima cognicio nature et scientia demonstrans ipsam. The translator, Michael Scot, dedicated his work to Stephanus de Pruvino, who, along with two others, was commissioned by Gregory IX in 1231 to examine Aristotle’s writings on natural philosophy and to report on their contents. Moreover, Avicenna had compiled a summary of the doctrine of this treatise, arranged under sixteen headings, which had been translated into Latin even before Gerard’s version appeared. It bears the title: Collectiones expositionum ab antiquis Graecis in libro Aristotelis qui dicitur liber caeli et mundi. Expositiones istae in sedecim continentur capitulis. Among the manuscripts of this work (which are, however, very numerous) are: Oxford, Balliol College 173A and 284; Bodleian, Selden supra 24; Paris, B.N. Lat. 16604—all from the thirteenth century. A much-emended text can be found in the edition of Avicenna’s scientific writings printed in Venice in 1308. This is not the place to discuss the origin of Avicenna’s summary or its influence on scholastic philosophy; however, it may be said that the translation, like those of similar works of Avicenna, must have been due to the Toledo scholars, such as Gundisalvi and John Avendehut (c. 1150). The summary clearly foregrounds the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of the physical world, which naturally calls to mind the decree issued to the University of Paris in 1215: Non legantur libri Aristotelis de metaphysica et naturali philosophia, nec summa de iisdem. According to Roger Bacon, the attack was directed against the expositions by Avicenna and Averroes. In the latter half of the thirteenth century, a translation from the Greek makes its appearance. No exact date can be given, but several indications point to the decade 1260–1270. Jourdain observed that De Caelo is quoted by Albertus Magnus only in the Arabic versions, and Grabmann has pointed out that Codex Urbinas Latinus 206, written in 1253, contains De Caelo and the first three books of the Meteorologica in Arabic versions, while Physics and De Generatione occur in versions from the Greek. The first author to quote the text in this new translation is, as far as is known, Roger Bacon in the Opus Majus (1266–1267). Finally, it is known from Balliol College MS. 99 that the version of Simplicius’ commentary by William of Moerbeke was completed in 1271. This must have been accompanied by a translation of at least the Aristotelian passages quoted as “lemmata.” An attempt has been made to show that a version from the Greek was already current in the twelfth century. Haskins quotes the following passage from the preface to the version of the Almagest, completed around 1160 by a Sicilian translator: Tut ergo boni muneris memor, quo earum quas Aristoteles acrivellatas vocat artium doctrina—animum sitientem liberaliter imbuit... etc. He sees in this a reference to De Caelo III 306b27, where, in the course of a criticism of the Timaeus, Aristotle says: πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἀνάγκη μὴ πᾶν σῶμα λέγειν διαιρετόν, ἀλλὰ μάχεσθαι ταῖς ἀκριβεστάταις ἐπιστήμαις. However, at least two other passages must be borne in mind: 1. Metaphysics 982a25: ἀκριβέσταται δὲ τῶν ἐπιστημῶν αἱ μάλιστα τῶν πρώτων εἰσιν. 2. Nicomachean Ethics I 1141a16: ὥστε δῆλον ὅτι ἀκριβεστάτη ἂν τῶν ἐπιστημῶν εἴη ἡ σοφία. In neither of these passages do the earliest translators transliterate the Greek word, and it is possible that the writer of the preface is not quoting a current translation but referring to the Greek original. It seems improbable that the De Caelo passage should be the one he had in mind, as it is not part of an explicit discussion of scientific method, and the reference to mathematics is purely incidental. Much stronger evidence would be needed to justify the supposition of an otherwise unknown translation. The commentary of St. Thomas Aquinas on this treatise was certainly composed between 1271 and 1274. He uses throughout the version of Simplicius’ commentary that William of Moerbeke completed on June 15, 1271. Balliol College MS. 99 ends with the note: Ego autem frater Guylermus de Morbeka de ordine fratrum predicatorum, domini papae penitenciarius et capellanus, hoc cum magno corporis labore et multo mentis tedio latinitati offero, putans in hoc translationis opere me plura Latinorum studiis addidisse. Expleta autem fuit haec translacio Viterbii A.D. MCCLXXI XVII Kal. Iulii post mortem bonae memoriae Clementis papae quarti, apostolica sede vacante. When St. Thomas died in March 1274, he had only completed his commentary as far as Book III, chapter 3. His manuscript of Simplicius may have temporarily passed into the possession of Peter of Auvergne, who was entrusted with completing the commentary. However, St. Thomas had apparently promised the manuscript to the Faculty of Arts in Paris. A. Birkenmajer, in Vermischte Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der mittelalterlichen Philosophie, called attention to a letter addressed by the Faculty to the General Chapter of the Dominican Order, then meeting in Lyons, in which they asked for the dispatch of certain manuscripts, including Simplicius on De Caelo, in accordance with this promise.

| In recent decades students of mathematics, philosophy, and the classics have again and again raised their voices 1 to vindicate the serious importance of Zeno's paradoxes of motion (Vorsokr.2 29 A 25-28 - Lee,3 nos. 19-36), not even excluding the Stadium. No longer can the problem implied in the paradoxes be disposed of by simply pointing out that time and space are equally divisible. The question which is at the bottom of all four of them is far more profound. [...] Fur- thermore, it has been shown that Aristotle, when qriticizing the paradoxes, was not concerned conscientiously to adjust his objec- tions to that which the historical Zeno had tried to prove, or rather disprove. [...] If it is thus established that Zeno's syllogisms must not necessarily be condemned as a futile play of dialectics 6 and that Aristotle's censure fails to do Zeno justice, a road seems to be open to a full rehabilitation and, perhaps, glorification. But one doubt remains. How adequately did the real Zeno actually deal with the problems he had in hand? And how sincere was he about them? [pp. 1 f.] |

| Fassen wir abschließend zusammen. Der Bericht des Sextus über die pythagoreische Lehre von der Zahl hat sich im wesentlichen als eine ziemlich lückenlose Wiedergabe von Gedanken herausgestellt, die der platonischen Altersvorlesung cÜber das Gute* entstammen4). Vergleiche mit anderen Textzeugnissen ließen erkennen, daß die Gedankenschritte in der Hauptsache treu bewahrt sind und größere Eingriffe in den Zusammenhang unterblieben sind. Damit haben wir aber an unserer Stelle einen Bericht über diese wichtige Vorlesung, der an Umfang6) alle bisher bekannten Texte übertrifft und uns nicht nur erlaubt, verschiedene schon bekannte Stücke in den Gedanken aufbau einzuordnen, sondern auch darüber hinaus neues Gedankengut eröffnet.

| In this passage from Aristotle's De Caelo, he explores why the heavens revolve in one direction rather than the other. He suggests that the universe has a front and a back, which implies a forward motion that is superior to backward motion, just as upward and rightward motions are superior to their respective opposites. Aristotle argues that since nature always follows the best course, the direction of the heaven's revolution must be forward and therefore better. The text is difficult to understand due to possible corruptions, but a comparison with Simplicius' paraphrase suggests that both the subject and object of the main verb are missing and need to be restored.

| To summarize, Democritus, who had moved beyond the confusion between point and atom, also avoided the notion of indivisible lines. The people who confused points and atoms probably held a similar theory of motion and space. However, it was not they but Plato who proposed the existence of indivisible lines, driven by his conception of the problem of continuity. This idea, however, was not straightforward to understand, and Plato did not explain it in detail in the dialogues. Anyone reading the Timaeus and knowing that Plato believed in indivisible lines might become confused trying to locate references to them in that dialogue. It was Xenocrates who made the theory widely known, but he further complicated the issue by introducing the concept of the ideal line, potentially adding other misunderstandings. Aristotle described this as "giving in" to a dichotomy argument, which directly suggests Zeno. All this made it easy for those who did not fully grasp the theory to conflate it with the ideas of the point-atomists. The argument is as follows: if indivisible lines exist, then there must also be surfaces that are divided by those indivisible lines, and all surfaces could be reduced to indivisible surfaces. For example, if x is the length of an indivisible line, a surface measuring x by 2x could be divided into two square surfaces with sides of length x. These squares could then be divided diagonally, but no further division would be possible, as this would require either cutting the indivisible length x or creating a line shorter than x. The same logic applies to solids divided along indivisible surfaces. In this reasoning, the indivisible surface is treated as a surface bounded by indivisible lines. This has been noted by the Oxford translator. The author of περὶ ἀτόμων γραμμῶν (Peri atomōn grammōn) either realized, or was informed, that indivisible lines were essentially points but did not recognize that indivisible surfaces were lines. If there existed, alongside Plato's theory of indivisible lines, another theory positing that matter, space, and motion were composed of tiny indivisibles, it would have been easy to conflate the two ideas. The passage quoted from Peri atomōn grammōn serves as an example of such a confusion. [conclusion p. 125-126 ] |

| The text discusses a disputed line in Parmenides, quoted in Plato's Theaetetus and Simplicius' Physics. Some editors deny the line's independent existence, claiming it was created by Plato by misquoting another verse. The author disagrees with this view, arguing that the line is meaningful and could have been in their texts of Parmenides. The author also argues that there is no reason to believe that Simplicius took the line from Plato, and that Plato was not slovenly in his treatment of Parmenides. The author proposes a corrected version of the line and suggests that it may be Parmenides' last word on the unity and unchangeableness of Being. [introduction/conclusion] |

| This book is an important study of one aspect of Stoicism. The conception of Stoicism as a kind of religion which disguised itself as a complete philosophy by irrelevantly assuming the more useless parts of Aristotle's logic and certain peculiar metaphysical doctrines is here attacked from a new point. The credit of showing the novelty of the Stoic logic is due to M. Bréhier. Dr. Rieth takes the Stoic treatment of the conceptions poion, idion, poiotês, diathesis, hexis, schesis, aition, and of the categories, and shows how it interlocks with their ethical theory. These are the Grundbegriffe of his title. It may be considered a somewhat paradoxical one, but the truth remains that we cannot understand the Chrysippean system unless these conceptions are given their proper prominence. Dr. Rieth expounds his interpretations with lucidity and a thorough grasp of his material. It is an indication of both merits that at the end of the book are twelve excursus in twenty-six pages of small type, including a valuable one on sêmeion. I do not think that he has always said the last word, but he is always worth reading. Our chief source of information on the topics of this book is Simplicius. Dr. Rieth, who sees Stoicism to be post-Aristotelian philosophically as well as temporally, hopes that his work may prove of value to the study of Peripateticism. These Stoic doctrines, he argues, were a criticism of Aristotle: they were in turn criticised by Peripatetics: but the Peripatetics interpreted their master in a way different from that they would have taken had there not been the rival system. He also hopes, perhaps with more justification, that by establishing the orthodox Chrysippean system he will make easier the study of Posidonius, from which he began his investigations. It is to be hoped that he will himself be able to attack the undergrowth of the Poseidoniosforschung. His sober judgment, absence of parti pris, and ability to marshal complicated evidence fit him for the Herculean task. [Review by S.H. Sandbach, Trinity College, Cambridge] |

| Ich habe hier versucht, auf engem Raum die Entstehung des Kommentars als solchen zu skizzieren, einige seiner Erscheinungsformen zu würdigen, ein paar Höchstleistungen zu werten. Gerade Entwicklungslinien darf auch auf diesem Gebiet kein Besonnener suchen oder gar „aufzeigen“; jedes Phänomen, auch in der Welt des Geistes, mag es auch noch so einfacher Struktur sein, verdankt seinen Ursprung einer Reihe von schaffenden Kräften. Auch der antike Kommentar ist aus dem Zusammenwirken verschiedener Faktoren erwachsen.

| The last phase of Greek philosophy has until recently been less intelli- gently studied than any other, and in our understanding of its development there are still lamentable lacunae. Three errors in particular have in the past prevented a proper appreciation of Plotinus' place in the history of philosophy. When this false trail was at length abandoned the fashion for orientalizing explanations persisted in another guise: to the earliest historians of Neo- platonism, Simon and Vacherot, the school of Plotinus was (in defiance of geographical facts) 'the school of Alexandria,' and its inspiration was mainly Egyptian. Vacherot says of Neoplatonism that it is 'essentially and radically oriental, having nothing of Greek thought but its language and procedure.' Few would be found to-day to subscribe to so sweeping a pronouncement; but the existence of an important oriental element in Plotinus' thought is still affirmed by many French and German writers.

| Anaxagoras does indeed, as he has been said to do, represent the culminating point of the enquiry into the one bto-tv. That simple enquiry for a simple unity becomes curiously complex, just because of the very simplicity and the thorough-going and uncompromising nature of Anaxagoras' logical mind. It has with him reached a stage where it must become transformed and pass on the one hand into logic in Plato, into the enquiry about the nature of predication through Gorgias and Antisthenes, and on the other hand into metaphysics, the theory of ideas, also in Plato. This central position of Anaxagoras is made clear by the passage discussed, according to which, I think, in considering the 'homoiomeries,' we should look upon parts as 'homoiomerous' primarily to the whole i~c6otov, and only secondarily to subordinate wholes. Indeed, it is implied in Anaxagoras' principle that there are only two entities which are properly wholes, the 0c0/cpo and voDv^. To call anything else a whole is more or less arbitrary, a principle not unworthy of the most thorough-going of modern absolutists. [Conclusion, p. 141] |

| Dieser Beitrag untersucht einen zentralen Passus aus den Schriften des Neuplatonikers Simplikios, der für seine polemische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Christentum von besonderem Interesse ist. Anhand der Überlieferung bei Heiberg wird die Bedeutung der Formulierung διαβεβλαμμένοι („verwirrt“ oder „zerfallen“) im Kontext der Darstellung christlicher Vorstellungen von Himmel und Gottheit analysiert. Es zeigt sich, dass Simplikios die Christen als unter dem Einfluss falscher metaphysischer Annahmen stehend betrachtet, was ihn dazu veranlasst, ihre Auffassung vom Himmel als Sitz Gottes zu kritisieren. Darüber hinaus wird ein intertextueller Bezug zu Heraklit (fr. 96 Diels) aufgezeigt, der für das Verständnis der Stelle essenziell ist. Die Argumentation von Simplikios reiht sich in die breitere neuplatonische Kritik an der christlichen Theologie ein, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Verehrung des toten Christus und den Gräberkult. Diese Analyse trägt zur Erhellung der spätantiken Debatten zwischen Neuplatonikern und Christen bei und verdeutlicht zugleich die methodischen Herausforderungen bei der Interpretation antiker philosophischer Texte.

| Karl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism. His classification differs materially from that of Zeller, who divided the Neoplatonists into three schools according to their order of progress, viz. the school of Plotinus, the Syrian school of Iamblichus, and the school of Athens, whose foremost representative was Proclus. Praechter maintains that the system was founded by Plotinus and Porphyrius; that Iamblichus then developed the doctrines in a speculative and mystic direction, the result being seen in two schools, the Syrian and the Athenian. A separate and distinctively religious tendency is manifested in the Pergamene school of Aidesios and Chrysanthios. Neoplatonism ends with the learned schools of Alexandria and the West, of which Hypatia and Macrobius were representative. Neoplatonism undoubtedly derives much of its interest from the fact that it forms a kind of connecting link between Ancient Philosophy and Christianity. [from the notices of the book] |

The first two, by Benedictus Niese and Georg Wissowa respectively, deal with three chapters in the history of Elis and Naevius and the Metelli. Both these historical inquiries are characterized by the employment of similar methods of criticism. Certain events, said to have taken place at a particular period, are held never to have taken place at that time, but to have been carried back from the history of a later day. Thus, Niese believes that the stories of the repeated quarrels between Elis and Pisa have no historical foundation, except in the single instance of the years 365\u2013364 B.C., when the Pisatae for a brief period formed a separate community and, in conjunction with the Arcadians, carried out the Olympic Games. Wissowa, in Naevius and the Metelli, endeavors to show that the story of the poet's quarrel with that house is a figment derived from a later period. The line fato Metelli Romae fiunt consules is, he thinks, quite pointless in relation to the Metelli of Naevius' day. It would apply forcibly, however, to the period of the Gracchi, in which the Metelli were singularly prominent as holders of high office. The traditional reply, malum dabunt Metelli Naevio poetae, Wissowa attributes to Caesius Bassus in Nero's time, when it was composed as a model of a Saturnian line. It may be suggested that the above method of historical criticism (very popular at the present time) may be carried a little too far. It is true that the historian is frequently tempted to add to the glory of his country in early times, but is it true that there is an equal tendency to fabricate history when no such motive can be assigned? The arguments of both Niese and Wissowa are ingenious, but hardly convincing.\r\n\r\nBechtel subjects the names of persons as published by Frankel in the fourth volume of I.O. to a searching criticism. A fair number of errors, certain or probable, are pointed out, but they are perhaps scarcely serious enough (consideration being had to the magnitude of the work) to justify the rather severe tone of criticism employed. Bechtel's proposed corrections are, however, likely to win approval for the most part. Otto Kern discusses the origin of the collection of hymns comprehended under the title \u1f48\u03c1\u03c6\u03ad\u03c9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u039c\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd \u03b5\u1f50\u03c4\u03c5\u03c7\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c2 \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9. These were apparently designed for the use of a body of mystae devoted to the service of Dionysos. The occurrence of the names of the goddess Hipta and of Dionysos Erikepaios both in these hymns and in inscriptions recently discovered in Asia Minor leads Kern to look to Asia Minor rather than to Egypt for their origin. The connection between the later Orphism and magical inscriptions is rightly pointed out by Kern. There is no doubt that the Gnostic and magical inscriptions on metal foil are a continuation of the Orphic inscriptions on similar material.\r\n\r\nKarl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism.

The central idea of the poem is, according to Meyer, 'the dignity of labour'; according to Adam, 'Justice between man and man.' These views, it may be pointed out, are united in the Platonic conception of Justice as consisting in the doing by each man of the work nature intended him to do. These broodings over the relation of man to man (says Wissowa) lead the poet to take a wider view of the development of mankind in his description of the Five Ages. The golden and silver ages are a picture of decline in a race of ideal beings; the bronze and iron ages are a picture of a decline in morals accompanying an improvement in culture, a phenomenon noted by the poet from his own observation. The heroic age is interpolated between these two in order to suit the general belief in its existence; it is also a ray of hope piercing the gloom of Hesiod's pessimism.

Dr. Wilcken, however, in that same year expressed the opinion that the fragment really formed part of a descriptive guide to Athens and the Peiraeus. This conclusion is amply confirmed by the present very ingenious study. Dr. Wilcken successfully distinguishes portions describing the Peiraeus (including the mention of an otherwise unknown sundial), Munichia (with a mention of 'the famous shrine of Artemis'), and the circuit of the Peiraeus wall, which is here said to measure ninety-odd stades, whereas the Themistoclean wall described by Thucydides measured but sixty. Hence, the wall described must be the wall of Konon. The manuscript goes on to describe the Long Walls and the Phaleric wall (mentioning the hill Sikelia) and breaks off just at the beginning of an account of 'the town of Theseus.' It is probable that this guide was written at the beginning of the third century B.C., though the papyrus is to be dated at about 100 A.D.

These broodings over the relation of man to man (says Wissowa) lead the poet to take a wider view of the development of mankind in his description of the Five Ages. The golden and silver ages are a picture of decline in a race of ideal beings; the bronze and iron ages are a picture of a decline in morals accompanying an improvement in culture, a phenomenon noted by the poet from his own observation. The heroic age is interpolated between these two in order to suit the general belief in its existence; it is also a ray of hope piercing the gloom of Hesiod's pessimism. Professor Meyer, as Professor Mair in his recent translation of Hesiod, emphasizes the almost Hebraic spirit of religion pervading the poem.\r\n\r\nUlrich Wilcken devotes an extremely interesting article to a fresh study of a Greek papyrus found by Prof. Petrie at Hawara in 1889. This was at first regarded by Prof. Sayce as a fragment of a lost history of Sicily, perhaps that of Timaeus. Dr. Wilcken, however, in that same year expressed the opinion that the fragment really formed part of a descriptive guide to Athens and the Peiraeus. This conclusion is amply confirmed by the present very ingenious study. Dr. Wilcken successfully distinguishes portions describing the Peiraeus (including the mention of an otherwise unknown sundial), Munichia (with a mention of 'the famous shrine of Artemis'), and the circuit of the Peiraeus wall, which is here said to measure ninety-odd stades, whereas the Themistoclean wall described by Thucydides measured but sixty. Hence, the wall described must be the wall of Konon. The manuscript goes on to describe the Long Walls and the Phaleric wall (mentioning the hill Sikelia) and breaks off just at the beginning of an account of 'the town of Theseus.' It is probable that this guide was written at the beginning of the third century B.C., though the papyrus is to be dated at about 100 A.D. The name of the author must remain uncertain, though it is conceivably the work of Diodorus the Periegetes.\r\n\r\nThe concluding study by Benno Erdmann on the philosophy of Spinoza falls outside the scope of this Journal.

| Der Bericht des Simplicius über die Quadraturen des Antiphon und des Hippokrates ist eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die Geschichte der griechischen Geometrie vor Euklid. Enthält doch dieser Bericht, neben vielen anderen historisch höchst wertvollen Mitteilungen, einen umfangreichen wörtlichen Auszug aus der leider verloren gegangenen Geschichte der Geometrie des Eudemus! Das uns auf diese Weise erhaltene Referat des Eudemus bezieht sich auf die scharfsinnigen Untersuchungen, die Hippokrates von Chios etwa um das Jahr 440 v. Chr. in einer ebenfalls verloren gegangenen Abhandlung über die Quadraturen der sogenannten Möndchen angestellt hat – Untersuchungen, die vielleicht als Vorbereitungen zu der von alters her umworbenen Quadratur des Kreises gedient haben. Die Abhandlung des Hippokrates ist umso wertvoller, als sie die älteste auf griechischem Boden entstandene mathematische Arbeit darstellt, die uns in gesicherter, zugleich ausführlicher und zusammenhängender Überlieferung vorliegt.

| Der vorliegende Text behandelt einige Corollarien von Simplicius in seinem Kommentar zu Aristoteles' Physik, wobei er sich insbesondere mit Philoponus' Einwänden auseinandersetzt. Die Diskussion dreht sich um die Definition der Bewegung bei Aristoteles und die Frage nach ewigen und begrenzten Bewegungen. Philoponus hinterfragt, wie begrenzte Bewegung als Folge einer ewigen Bewegung angesehen werden kann, da die Potenz immer bestehe und eine Bedingung für die Bewegung sei. Simplicius argumentiert, dass die Potenz und Bewegung untrennbar verbunden sind und dass es keine ewige Bewegung geben könne. Er erläutert Aristoteles' Position und verteidigt sie gegen Philoponus' Einwände. Die Diskussion umfasst Themen wie die Rolle der Potenz in der Bewegung, die Anwendung der Begriffsdefinition auf verschiedene Sachverhalte und die Frage nach einem obersten Beweger. Am Ende wird betont, dass selbst bei einer Ablehnung des Aristotelischen Axioms von der Bewegung die Annahme eines ewigen obersten Bewegers bestehen bleibt. [introduction] |

The text discusses a disputed line in Parmenides, quoted in Plato's Theaetetus and Simplicius' Physics. Some editors deny the line's independent existence, claiming it was created by Plato by misquoting another verse. The author disagrees with this view, arguing that the line is meaningful and could have been in their texts of Parmenides. The author also argues that there is no reason to believe that Simplicius took the line from Plato, and that Plato was not slovenly in his treatment of Parmenides. The author proposes a corrected version of the line and suggests that it may be Parmenides' last word on the unity and unchangeableness of Being. [introduction/conclusion] |

In this passage from Aristotle's De Caelo, he explores why the heavens revolve in one direction rather than the other. He suggests that the universe has a front and a back, which implies a forward motion that is superior to backward motion, just as upward and rightward motions are superior to their respective opposites. Aristotle argues that since nature always follows the best course, the direction of the heaven's revolution must be forward and therefore better. The text is difficult to understand due to possible corruptions, but a comparison with Simplicius' paraphrase suggests that both the subject and object of the main verb are missing and need to be restored.

Der Bericht des Simplicius über die Quadraturen des Antiphon und des Hippokrates ist eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die Geschichte der griechischen Geometrie vor Euklid. Enthält doch dieser Bericht, neben vielen anderen historisch höchst wertvollen Mitteilungen, einen umfangreichen wörtlichen Auszug aus der leider verloren gegangenen Geschichte der Geometrie des Eudemus! Das uns auf diese Weise erhaltene Referat des Eudemus bezieht sich auf die scharfsinnigen Untersuchungen, die Hippokrates von Chios etwa um das Jahr 440 v. Chr. in einer ebenfalls verloren gegangenen Abhandlung über die Quadraturen der sogenannten Möndchen angestellt hat – Untersuchungen, die vielleicht als Vorbereitungen zu der von alters her umworbenen Quadratur des Kreises gedient haben. Die Abhandlung des Hippokrates ist umso wertvoller, als sie die älteste auf griechischem Boden entstandene mathematische Arbeit darstellt, die uns in gesicherter, zugleich ausführlicher und zusammenhängender Überlieferung vorliegt.

Der vorliegende Text behandelt einige Corollarien von Simplicius in seinem Kommentar zu Aristoteles' Physik, wobei er sich insbesondere mit Philoponus' Einwänden auseinandersetzt. Die Diskussion dreht sich um die Definition der Bewegung bei Aristoteles und die Frage nach ewigen und begrenzten Bewegungen. Philoponus hinterfragt, wie begrenzte Bewegung als Folge einer ewigen Bewegung angesehen werden kann, da die Potenz immer bestehe und eine Bedingung für die Bewegung sei. Simplicius argumentiert, dass die Potenz und Bewegung untrennbar verbunden sind und dass es keine ewige Bewegung geben könne. Er erläutert Aristoteles' Position und verteidigt sie gegen Philoponus' Einwände. Die Diskussion umfasst Themen wie die Rolle der Potenz in der Bewegung, die Anwendung der Begriffsdefinition auf verschiedene Sachverhalte und die Frage nach einem obersten Beweger. Am Ende wird betont, dass selbst bei einer Ablehnung des Aristotelischen Axioms von der Bewegung die Annahme eines ewigen obersten Bewegers bestehen bleibt. [introduction] |

This is a series of studies on different subjects dedicated by friends and former pupils to Carl Robert on his attaining his sixtieth birthday. The first two, by Benedictus Niese and Georg Wissowa respectively, deal with three chapters in the history of Elis and Naevius and the Metelli. Both these historical inquiries are characterized by the employment of similar methods of criticism. Certain events, said to have taken place at a particular period, are held never to have taken place at that time, but to have been carried back from the history of a later day. Thus, Niese believes that the stories of the repeated quarrels between Elis and Pisa have no historical foundation, except in the single instance of the years 365–364 B.C., when the Pisatae for a brief period formed a separate community and, in conjunction with the Arcadians, carried out the Olympic Games. Wissowa, in Naevius and the Metelli, endeavors to show that the story of the poet's quarrel with that house is a figment derived from a later period. The line fato Metelli Romae fiunt consules is, he thinks, quite pointless in relation to the Metelli of Naevius' day. It would apply forcibly, however, to the period of the Gracchi, in which the Metelli were singularly prominent as holders of high office. The traditional reply, malum dabunt Metelli Naevio poetae, Wissowa attributes to Caesius Bassus in Nero's time, when it was composed as a model of a Saturnian line. It may be suggested that the above method of historical criticism (very popular at the present time) may be carried a little too far. It is true that the historian is frequently tempted to add to the glory of his country in early times, but is it true that there is an equal tendency to fabricate history when no such motive can be assigned? The arguments of both Niese and Wissowa are ingenious, but hardly convincing. Bechtel subjects the names of persons as published by Frankel in the fourth volume of I.O. to a searching criticism. A fair number of errors, certain or probable, are pointed out, but they are perhaps scarcely serious enough (consideration being had to the magnitude of the work) to justify the rather severe tone of criticism employed. Bechtel's proposed corrections are, however, likely to win approval for the most part. Otto Kern discusses the origin of the collection of hymns comprehended under the title Ὀρφέως πρὸς Μουσαῖον εὐτυχοῦς χάριτι. These were apparently designed for the use of a body of mystae devoted to the service of Dionysos. The occurrence of the names of the goddess Hipta and of Dionysos Erikepaios both in these hymns and in inscriptions recently discovered in Asia Minor leads Kern to look to Asia Minor rather than to Egypt for their origin. The connection between the later Orphism and magical inscriptions is rightly pointed out by Kern. There is no doubt that the Gnostic and magical inscriptions on metal foil are a continuation of the Orphic inscriptions on similar material. Karl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism. His classification differs materially from that of Zeller, who divided the Neoplatonists into three schools according to their order of progress, viz. the school of Plotinus, the Syrian school of Iamblichus, and the school of Athens, whose foremost representative was Proclus. Praechter maintains that the system was founded by Plotinus and Porphyrius; that Iamblichus then developed the doctrines in a speculative and mystic direction, the result being seen in two schools, the Syrian and the Athenian. A separate and distinctively religious tendency is manifested in the Pergamene school of Aidesios and Chrysanthios. Neoplatonism ends with the learned schools of Alexandria and the West, of which Hypatia and Macrobius were representative. Neoplatonism undoubtedly derives much of its interest from the fact that it forms a kind of connecting link between Ancient Philosophy and Christianity. Eduard Meyer chooses for his study Hesiod's Works and Days, and in particular the part dealing with the Five Races of Mankind. In general, it may be remarked that his interpretations do not differ greatly from those of the late Dr. Adam in his Religious Teachers of Greece. The central idea of the poem is, according to Meyer, 'the dignity of labour'; according to Adam, 'Justice between man and man.' These views, it may be pointed out, are united in the Platonic conception of Justice as consisting in the doing by each man of the work nature intended him to do. These broodings over the relation of man to man (says Wissowa) lead the poet to take a wider view of the development of mankind in his description of the Five Ages. The golden and silver ages are a picture of decline in a race of ideal beings; the bronze and iron ages are a picture of a decline in morals accompanying an improvement in culture, a phenomenon noted by the poet from his own observation. The heroic age is interpolated between these two in order to suit the general belief in its existence; it is also a ray of hope piercing the gloom of Hesiod's pessimism. Professor Meyer, as Professor Mair in his recent translation of Hesiod, emphasizes the almost Hebraic spirit of religion pervading the poem. Ulrich Wilcken devotes an extremely interesting article to a fresh study of a Greek papyrus found by Prof. Petrie at Hawara in 1889. This was at first regarded by Prof. Sayce as a fragment of a lost history of Sicily, perhaps that of Timaeus. Dr. Wilcken, however, in that same year expressed the opinion that the fragment really formed part of a descriptive guide to Athens and the Peiraeus. This conclusion is amply confirmed by the present very ingenious study. Dr. Wilcken successfully distinguishes portions describing the Peiraeus (including the mention of an otherwise unknown sundial), Munichia (with a mention of 'the famous shrine of Artemis'), and the circuit of the Peiraeus wall, which is here said to measure ninety-odd stades, whereas the Themistoclean wall described by Thucydides measured but sixty. Hence, the wall described must be the wall of Konon. The manuscript goes on to describe the Long Walls and the Phaleric wall (mentioning the hill Sikelia) and breaks off just at the beginning of an account of 'the town of Theseus.' It is probable that this guide was written at the beginning of the third century B.C., though the papyrus is to be dated at about 100 A.D. The name of the author must remain uncertain, though it is conceivably the work of Diodorus the Periegetes. The concluding study by Benno Erdmann on the philosophy of Spinoza falls outside the scope of this Journal. [notices of book] |

It would apply forcibly, however, to the period of the Gracchi, in which the Metelli were singularly prominent as holders of high office. The traditional reply, malum dabunt Metelli Naevio poetae, Wissowa attributes to Caesius Bassus in Nero's time, when it was composed as a model of a Saturnian line. It may be suggested that the above method of historical criticism (very popular at the present time) may be carried a little too far. It is true that the historian is frequently tempted to add to the glory of his country in early times, but is it true that there is an equal tendency to fabricate history when no such motive can be assigned? The arguments of both Niese and Wissowa are ingenious, but hardly convincing.\r\n\r\nBechtel subjects the names of persons as published by Frankel in the fourth volume of I.O. to a searching criticism. A fair number of errors, certain or probable, are pointed out, but they are perhaps scarcely serious enough (consideration being had to the magnitude of the work) to justify the rather severe tone of criticism employed. Bechtel's proposed corrections are, however, likely to win approval for the most part. Otto Kern discusses the origin of the collection of hymns comprehended under the title \u1f48\u03c1\u03c6\u03ad\u03c9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u039c\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd \u03b5\u1f50\u03c4\u03c5\u03c7\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c2 \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9. These were apparently designed for the use of a body of mystae devoted to the service of Dionysos. The occurrence of the names of the goddess Hipta and of Dionysos Erikepaios both in these hymns and in inscriptions recently discovered in Asia Minor leads Kern to look to Asia Minor rather than to Egypt for their origin. The connection between the later Orphism and magical inscriptions is rightly pointed out by Kern. There is no doubt that the Gnostic and magical inscriptions on metal foil are a continuation of the Orphic inscriptions on similar material.\r\n\r\nKarl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism. His classification differs materially from that of Zeller, who divided the Neoplatonists into three schools according to their order of progress, viz. the school of Plotinus, the Syrian school of Iamblichus, and the school of Athens, whose foremost representative was Proclus. Praechter maintains that the system was founded by Plotinus and Porphyrius; that Iamblichus then developed the doctrines in a speculative and mystic direction, the result being seen in two schools, the Syrian and the Athenian. A separate and distinctively religious tendency is manifested in the Pergamene school of Aidesios and Chrysanthios. Neoplatonism ends with the learned schools of Alexandria and the West, of which Hypatia and Macrobius were representative. Neoplatonism undoubtedly derives much of its interest from the fact that it forms a kind of connecting link between Ancient Philosophy and Christianity.\r\n\r\nEduard Meyer chooses for his study Hesiod's Works and Days, and in particular the part dealing with the Five Races of Mankind. In general, it may be remarked that his interpretations do not differ greatly from those of the late Dr. Adam in his Religious Teachers of Greece. The central idea of the poem is, according to Meyer, 'the dignity of labour'; according to Adam, 'Justice between man and man.' These views, it may be pointed out, are united in the Platonic conception of Justice as consisting in the doing by each man of the work nature intended him to do. These broodings over the relation of man to man (says Wissowa) lead the poet to take a wider view of the development of mankind in his description of the Five Ages. The golden and silver ages are a picture of decline in a race of ideal beings; the bronze and iron ages are a picture of a decline in morals accompanying an improvement in culture, a phenomenon noted by the poet from his own observation. The heroic age is interpolated between these two in order to suit the general belief in its existence; it is also a ray of hope piercing the gloom of Hesiod's pessimism. Professor Meyer, as Professor Mair in his recent translation of Hesiod, emphasizes the almost Hebraic spirit of religion pervading the poem.\r\n\r\nUlrich Wilcken devotes an extremely interesting article to a fresh study of a Greek papyrus found by Prof. Petrie at Hawara in 1889. This was at first regarded by Prof. Sayce as a fragment of a lost history of Sicily, perhaps that of Timaeus. Dr. Wilcken, however, in that same year expressed the opinion that the fragment really formed part of a descriptive guide to Athens and the Peiraeus. This conclusion is amply confirmed by the present very ingenious study. Dr. Wilcken successfully distinguishes portions describing the Peiraeus (including the mention of an otherwise unknown sundial), Munichia (with a mention of 'the famous shrine of Artemis'), and the circuit of the Peiraeus wall, which is here said to measure ninety-odd stades, whereas the Themistoclean wall described by Thucydides measured but sixty. Hence, the wall described must be the wall of Konon. The manuscript goes on to describe the Long Walls and the Phaleric wall (mentioning the hill Sikelia) and breaks off just at the beginning of an account of 'the town of Theseus.' It is probable that this guide was written at the beginning of the third century B.C., though the papyrus is to be dated at about 100 A.D. The name of the author must remain uncertain, though it is conceivably the work of Diodorus the Periegetes.\r\n\r\nThe concluding study by Benno Erdmann on the philosophy of Spinoza falls outside the scope of this Journal.

This book is an important study of one aspect of Stoicism. The conception of Stoicism as a kind of religion which disguised itself as a complete philosophy by irrelevantly assuming the more useless parts of Aristotle's logic and certain peculiar metaphysical doctrines is here attacked from a new point. The credit of showing the novelty of the Stoic logic is due to M. Bréhier. Dr. Rieth takes the Stoic treatment of the conceptions poion, idion, poiotês, diathesis, hexis, schesis, aition, and of the categories, and shows how it interlocks with their ethical theory. These are the Grundbegriffe of his title. It may be considered a somewhat paradoxical one, but the truth remains that we cannot understand the Chrysippean system unless these conceptions are given their proper prominence. Dr. Rieth expounds his interpretations with lucidity and a thorough grasp of his material. It is an indication of both merits that at the end of the book are twelve excursus in twenty-six pages of small type, including a valuable one on sêmeion. I do not think that he has always said the last word, but he is always worth reading. Our chief source of information on the topics of this book is Simplicius. Dr. Rieth, who sees Stoicism to be post-Aristotelian philosophically as well as temporally, hopes that his work may prove of value to the study of Peripateticism. These Stoic doctrines, he argues, were a criticism of Aristotle: they were in turn criticised by Peripatetics: but the Peripatetics interpreted their master in a way different from that they would have taken had there not been the rival system. He also hopes, perhaps with more justification, that by establishing the orthodox Chrysippean system he will make easier the study of Posidonius, from which he began his investigations. It is to be hoped that he will himself be able to attack the undergrowth of the Poseidoniosforschung. His sober judgment, absence of parti pris, and ability to marshal complicated evidence fit him for the Herculean task. [Review by S.H. Sandbach, Trinity College, Cambridge] |

To summarize, Democritus, who had moved beyond the confusion between point and atom, also avoided the notion of indivisible lines. The people who confused points and atoms probably held a similar theory of motion and space. However, it was not they but Plato who proposed the existence of indivisible lines, driven by his conception of the problem of continuity. This idea, however, was not straightforward to understand, and Plato did not explain it in detail in the dialogues. Anyone reading the Timaeus and knowing that Plato believed in indivisible lines might become confused trying to locate references to them in that dialogue. It was Xenocrates who made the theory widely known, but he further complicated the issue by introducing the concept of the ideal line, potentially adding other misunderstandings. Aristotle described this as "giving in" to a dichotomy argument, which directly suggests Zeno. All this made it easy for those who did not fully grasp the theory to conflate it with the ideas of the point-atomists. The argument is as follows: if indivisible lines exist, then there must also be surfaces that are divided by those indivisible lines, and all surfaces could be reduced to indivisible surfaces. For example, if x is the length of an indivisible line, a surface measuring x by 2x could be divided into two square surfaces with sides of length x. These squares could then be divided diagonally, but no further division would be possible, as this would require either cutting the indivisible length x or creating a line shorter than x. The same logic applies to solids divided along indivisible surfaces. In this reasoning, the indivisible surface is treated as a surface bounded by indivisible lines. This has been noted by the Oxford translator. The author of περὶ ἀτόμων γραμμῶν (Peri atomōn grammōn) either realized, or was informed, that indivisible lines were essentially points but did not recognize that indivisible surfaces were lines. If there existed, alongside Plato's theory of indivisible lines, another theory positing that matter, space, and motion were composed of tiny indivisibles, it would have been easy to conflate the two ideas. The passage quoted from Peri atomōn grammōn serves as an example of such a confusion. [conclusion p. 125-126 ] |

The main problem with which we shall be concerned is the authorship of the versions of De Caelo from the Greek that appeared during the thirteenth century. But it will be best to begin with a recapitulation of the facts ascertained by previous writers concerning the Arabic-Latin versions in which this treatise first became known in the lands of Western Europe. Until the middle of the thirteenth century, the work was commonly known and quoted in one of two versions: 1. A version of the text alone, beginning: Summa cognicionis nature et scientie ipsam demonstrantis. Its author, as we know from manuscript authority, was Gerard of Cremona (d. 1187). 2. A version accompanying the commentary of Averroes, beginning: Maxima cognicio nature et scientia demonstrans ipsam. The translator, Michael Scot, dedicated his work to Stephanus de Pruvino, who, along with two others, was commissioned by Gregory IX in 1231 to examine Aristotle’s writings on natural philosophy and to report on their contents. Moreover, Avicenna had compiled a summary of the doctrine of this treatise, arranged under sixteen headings, which had been translated into Latin even before Gerard’s version appeared. It bears the title: Collectiones expositionum ab antiquis Graecis in libro Aristotelis qui dicitur liber caeli et mundi. Expositiones istae in sedecim continentur capitulis. Among the manuscripts of this work (which are, however, very numerous) are: Oxford, Balliol College 173A and 284; Bodleian, Selden supra 24; Paris, B.N. Lat. 16604—all from the thirteenth century. A much-emended text can be found in the edition of Avicenna’s scientific writings printed in Venice in 1308. This is not the place to discuss the origin of Avicenna’s summary or its influence on scholastic philosophy; however, it may be said that the translation, like those of similar works of Avicenna, must have been due to the Toledo scholars, such as Gundisalvi and John Avendehut (c. 1150). The summary clearly foregrounds the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of the physical world, which naturally calls to mind the decree issued to the University of Paris in 1215: Non legantur libri Aristotelis de metaphysica et naturali philosophia, nec summa de iisdem. According to Roger Bacon, the attack was directed against the expositions by Avicenna and Averroes. In the latter half of the thirteenth century, a translation from the Greek makes its appearance. No exact date can be given, but several indications point to the decade 1260–1270. Jourdain observed that De Caelo is quoted by Albertus Magnus only in the Arabic versions, and Grabmann has pointed out that Codex Urbinas Latinus 206, written in 1253, contains De Caelo and the first three books of the Meteorologica in Arabic versions, while Physics and De Generatione occur in versions from the Greek. The first author to quote the text in this new translation is, as far as is known, Roger Bacon in the Opus Majus (1266–1267). Finally, it is known from Balliol College MS. 99 that the version of Simplicius’ commentary by William of Moerbeke was completed in 1271. This must have been accompanied by a translation of at least the Aristotelian passages quoted as “lemmata.” An attempt has been made to show that a version from the Greek was already current in the twelfth century. Haskins quotes the following passage from the preface to the version of the Almagest, completed around 1160 by a Sicilian translator: Tut ergo boni muneris memor, quo earum quas Aristoteles acrivellatas vocat artium doctrina—animum sitientem liberaliter imbuit... etc. He sees in this a reference to De Caelo III 306b27, where, in the course of a criticism of the Timaeus, Aristotle says: πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἀνάγκη μὴ πᾶν σῶμα λέγειν διαιρετόν, ἀλλὰ μάχεσθαι ταῖς ἀκριβεστάταις ἐπιστήμαις. However, at least two other passages must be borne in mind: 1. Metaphysics 982a25: ἀκριβέσταται δὲ τῶν ἐπιστημῶν αἱ μάλιστα τῶν πρώτων εἰσιν. 2. Nicomachean Ethics I 1141a16: ὥστε δῆλον ὅτι ἀκριβεστάτη ἂν τῶν ἐπιστημῶν εἴη ἡ σοφία. In neither of these passages do the earliest translators transliterate the Greek word, and it is possible that the writer of the preface is not quoting a current translation but referring to the Greek original. It seems improbable that the De Caelo passage should be the one he had in mind, as it is not part of an explicit discussion of scientific method, and the reference to mathematics is purely incidental. Much stronger evidence would be needed to justify the supposition of an otherwise unknown translation. The commentary of St. Thomas Aquinas on this treatise was certainly composed between 1271 and 1274. He uses throughout the version of Simplicius’ commentary that William of Moerbeke completed on June 15, 1271. Balliol College MS. 99 ends with the note: Ego autem frater Guylermus de Morbeka de ordine fratrum predicatorum, domini papae penitenciarius et capellanus, hoc cum magno corporis labore et multo mentis tedio latinitati offero, putans in hoc translationis opere me plura Latinorum studiis addidisse. Expleta autem fuit haec translacio Viterbii A.D. MCCLXXI XVII Kal. Iulii post mortem bonae memoriae Clementis papae quarti, apostolica sede vacante. When St. Thomas died in March 1274, he had only completed his commentary as far as Book III, chapter 3. His manuscript of Simplicius may have temporarily passed into the possession of Peter of Auvergne, who was entrusted with completing the commentary. However, St. Thomas had apparently promised the manuscript to the Faculty of Arts in Paris. A. Birkenmajer, in Vermischte Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der mittelalterlichen Philosophie, called attention to a letter addressed by the Faculty to the General Chapter of the Dominican Order, then meeting in Lyons, in which they asked for the dispatch of certain manuscripts, including Simplicius on De Caelo, in accordance with this promise.

The summary clearly foregrounds the Aristotelian doctrine of the eternity of the physical world, which naturally calls to mind the decree issued to the University of Paris in 1215: Non legantur libri Aristotelis de metaphysica et naturali philosophia, nec summa de iisdem. According to Roger Bacon, the attack was directed against the expositions by Avicenna and Averroes.\r\nIn the latter half of the thirteenth century, a translation from the Greek makes its appearance. No exact date can be given, but several indications point to the decade 1260\u20131270. Jourdain observed that De Caelo is quoted by Albertus Magnus only in the Arabic versions, and Grabmann has pointed out that Codex Urbinas Latinus 206, written in 1253, contains De Caelo and the first three books of the Meteorologica in Arabic versions, while Physics and De Generatione occur in versions from the Greek. The first author to quote the text in this new translation is, as far as is known, Roger Bacon in the Opus Majus (1266\u20131267). Finally, it is known from Balliol College MS. 99 that the version of Simplicius\u2019 commentary by William of Moerbeke was completed in 1271. This must have been accompanied by a translation of at least the Aristotelian passages quoted as \u201clemmata.\u201d\r\nAn attempt has been made to show that a version from the Greek was already current in the twelfth century. Haskins quotes the following passage from the preface to the version of the Almagest, completed around 1160 by a Sicilian translator: Tut ergo boni muneris memor, quo earum quas Aristoteles acrivellatas vocat artium doctrina\u2014animum sitientem liberaliter imbuit... etc. He sees in this a reference to De Caelo III 306b27, where, in the course of a criticism of the Timaeus, Aristotle says:\r\n\u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u03b4\u1f72 \u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03c2 \u1f00\u03bd\u03ac\u03b3\u03ba\u03b7 \u03bc\u1f74 \u03c0\u1fb6\u03bd \u03c3\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b1 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b3\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03c4\u03cc\u03bd, \u1f00\u03bb\u03bb\u1f70 \u03bc\u03ac\u03c7\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03b1\u1fd6\u03c2 \u1f00\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03b2\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2 \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2.\r\nHowever, at least two other passages must be borne in mind:\r\n1.\tMetaphysics 982a25:\r\n\u1f00\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03b2\u03ad\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u1f72 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd \u03b1\u1f31 \u03bc\u03ac\u03bb\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u03ce\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03b5\u1f30\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd.\r\n2.\tNicomachean Ethics I 1141a16:\r\n\u1f65\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03b4\u1fc6\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd \u1f45\u03c4\u03b9 \u1f00\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03b2\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac\u03c4\u03b7 \u1f02\u03bd \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd \u03b5\u1f34\u03b7 \u1f21 \u03c3\u03bf\u03c6\u03af\u03b1.\r\nIn neither of these passages do the earliest translators transliterate the Greek word, and it is possible that the writer of the preface is not quoting a current translation but referring to the Greek original. It seems improbable that the De Caelo passage should be the one he had in mind, as it is not part of an explicit discussion of scientific method, and the reference to mathematics is purely incidental. Much stronger evidence would be needed to justify the supposition of an otherwise unknown translation.\r\nThe commentary of St. Thomas Aquinas on this treatise was certainly composed between 1271 and 1274. He uses throughout the version of Simplicius\u2019 commentary that William of Moerbeke completed on June 15, 1271. Balliol College MS. 99 ends with the note: Ego autem frater Guylermus de Morbeka de ordine fratrum predicatorum, domini papae penitenciarius et capellanus, hoc cum magno corporis labore et multo mentis tedio latinitati offero, putans in hoc translationis opere me plura Latinorum studiis addidisse. Expleta autem fuit haec translacio Viterbii A.D. MCCLXXI XVII Kal. Iulii post mortem bonae memoriae Clementis papae quarti, apostolica sede vacante. When St. Thomas died in March 1274, he had only completed his commentary as far as Book III, chapter 3. His manuscript of Simplicius may have temporarily passed into the possession of Peter of Auvergne, who was entrusted with completing the commentary. However, St. Thomas had apparently promised the manuscript to the Faculty of Arts in Paris. A. Birkenmajer, in Vermischte Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der mittelalterlichen Philosophie, called attention to a letter addressed by the Faculty to the General Chapter of the Dominican Order, then meeting in Lyons, in which they asked for the dispatch of certain manuscripts, including Simplicius on De Caelo, in accordance with this promise.

Fassen wir abschließend zusammen. Der Bericht des Sextus über die pythagoreische Lehre von der Zahl hat sich im wesentlichen als eine ziemlich lückenlose Wiedergabe von Gedanken herausgestellt, die der platonischen Altersvorlesung cÜber das Gute* entstammen4). Vergleiche mit anderen Textzeugnissen ließen erkennen, daß die Gedankenschritte in der Hauptsache treu bewahrt sind und größere Eingriffe in den Zusammenhang unterblieben sind.

Karl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism. His classification differs materially from that of Zeller, who divided the Neoplatonists into three schools according to their order of progress, viz. the school of Plotinus, the Syrian school of Iamblichus, and the school of Athens, whose foremost representative was Proclus. Praechter maintains that the system was founded by Plotinus and Porphyrius; that Iamblichus then developed the doctrines in a speculative and mystic direction, the result being seen in two schools, the Syrian and the Athenian. A separate and distinctively religious tendency is manifested in the Pergamene school of Aidesios and Chrysanthios. Neoplatonism ends with the learned schools of Alexandria and the West, of which Hypatia and Macrobius were representative.

The first two, by Benedictus Niese and Georg Wissowa respectively, deal with three chapters in the history of Elis and Naevius and the Metelli. Both these historical inquiries are characterized by the employment of similar methods of criticism. Certain events, said to have taken place at a particular period, are held never to have taken place at that time, but to have been carried back from the history of a later day. Thus, Niese believes that the stories of the repeated quarrels between Elis and Pisa have no historical foundation, except in the single instance of the years 365\u2013364 B.C., when the Pisatae for a brief period formed a separate community and, in conjunction with the Arcadians, carried out the Olympic Games. Wissowa, in Naevius and the Metelli, endeavors to show that the story of the poet's quarrel with that house is a figment derived from a later period. The line fato Metelli Romae fiunt consules is, he thinks, quite pointless in relation to the Metelli of Naevius' day. It would apply forcibly, however, to the period of the Gracchi, in which the Metelli were singularly prominent as holders of high office. The traditional reply, malum dabunt Metelli Naevio poetae, Wissowa attributes to Caesius Bassus in Nero's time, when it was composed as a model of a Saturnian line. It may be suggested that the above method of historical criticism (very popular at the present time) may be carried a little too far. It is true that the historian is frequently tempted to add to the glory of his country in early times, but is it true that there is an equal tendency to fabricate history when no such motive can be assigned? The arguments of both Niese and Wissowa are ingenious, but hardly convincing.\r\n\r\nBechtel subjects the names of persons as published by Frankel in the fourth volume of I.O. to a searching criticism. A fair number of errors, certain or probable, are pointed out, but they are perhaps scarcely serious enough (consideration being had to the magnitude of the work) to justify the rather severe tone of criticism employed. Bechtel's proposed corrections are, however, likely to win approval for the most part. Otto Kern discusses the origin of the collection of hymns comprehended under the title \u1f48\u03c1\u03c6\u03ad\u03c9\u03c2 \u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u039c\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd \u03b5\u1f50\u03c4\u03c5\u03c7\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c2 \u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9. These were apparently designed for the use of a body of mystae devoted to the service of Dionysos. The occurrence of the names of the goddess Hipta and of Dionysos Erikepaios both in these hymns and in inscriptions recently discovered in Asia Minor leads Kern to look to Asia Minor rather than to Egypt for their origin. The connection between the later Orphism and magical inscriptions is rightly pointed out by Kern. There is no doubt that the Gnostic and magical inscriptions on metal foil are a continuation of the Orphic inscriptions on similar material.\r\n\r\nKarl Praechter deals at some length with the tendencies and schools of Neoplatonism. His classification differs materially from that of Zeller, who divided the Neoplatonists into three schools according to their order of progress, viz. the school of Plotinus, the Syrian school of Iamblichus, and the school of Athens, whose foremost representative was Proclus. Praechter maintains that the system was founded by Plotinus and Porphyrius; that Iamblichus then developed the doctrines in a speculative and mystic direction, the result being seen in two schools, the Syrian and the Athenian. A separate and distinctively religious tendency is manifested in the Pergamene school of Aidesios and Chrysanthios. Neoplatonism ends with the learned schools of Alexandria and the West, of which Hypatia and Macrobius were representative. Neoplatonism undoubtedly derives much of its interest from the fact that it forms a kind of connecting link between Ancient Philosophy and Christianity.\r\n\r\nEduard Meyer chooses for his study Hesiod's Works and Days, and in particular the part dealing with the Five Races of Mankind. In general, it may be remarked that his interpretations do not differ greatly from those of the late Dr. Adam in his Religious Teachers of Greece. The central idea of the poem is, according to Meyer, 'the dignity of labour'; according to Adam, 'Justice between man and man.' These views, it may be pointed out, are united in the Platonic conception of Justice as consisting in the doing by each man of the work nature intended him to do. These broodings over the relation of man to man (says Wissowa) lead the poet to take a wider view of the development of mankind in his description of the Five Ages. The golden and silver ages are a picture of decline in a race of ideal beings; the bronze and iron ages are a picture of a decline in morals accompanying an improvement in culture, a phenomenon noted by the poet from his own observation. The heroic age is interpolated between these two in order to suit the general belief in its existence; it is also a ray of hope piercing the gloom of Hesiod's pessimism. Professor Meyer, as Professor Mair in his recent translation of Hesiod, emphasizes the almost Hebraic spirit of religion pervading the poem.\r\n\r\nUlrich Wilcken devotes an extremely interesting article to a fresh study of a Greek papyrus found by Prof. Petrie at Hawara in 1889. This was at first regarded by Prof. Sayce as a fragment of a lost history of Sicily, perhaps that of Timaeus. Dr. Wilcken, however, in that same year expressed the opinion that the fragment really formed part of a descriptive guide to Athens and the Peiraeus. This conclusion is amply confirmed by the present very ingenious study. Dr. Wilcken successfully distinguishes portions describing the Peiraeus (including the mention of an otherwise unknown sundial), Munichia (with a mention of 'the famous shrine of Artemis'), and the circuit of the Peiraeus wall, which is here said to measure ninety-odd stades, whereas the Themistoclean wall described by Thucydides measured but sixty. Hence, the wall described must be the wall of Konon. The manuscript goes on to describe the Long Walls and the Phaleric wall (mentioning the hill Sikelia) and breaks off just at the beginning of an account of 'the town of Theseus.' It is probable that this guide was written at the beginning of the third century B.C., though the papyrus is to be dated at about 100 A.D. The name of the author must remain uncertain, though it is conceivably the work of Diodorus the Periegetes.\r\n\r\nThe concluding study by Benno Erdmann on the philosophy of Spinoza falls outside the scope of this Journal.

Dieser Beitrag untersucht einen zentralen Passus aus den Schriften des Neuplatonikers Simplikios, der für seine polemische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Christentum von besonderem Interesse ist. Anhand der Überlieferung bei Heiberg wird die Bedeutung der Formulierung διαβεβλαμμένοι („verwirrt“ oder „zerfallen“) im Kontext der Darstellung christlicher Vorstellungen von Himmel und Gottheit analysiert. Es zeigt sich, dass Simplikios die Christen als unter dem Einfluss falscher metaphysischer Annahmen stehend betrachtet, was ihn dazu veranlasst, ihre Auffassung vom Himmel als Sitz Gottes zu kritisieren. Darüber hinaus wird ein intertextueller Bezug zu Heraklit (fr. 96 Diels) aufgezeigt, der für das Verständnis der Stelle essenziell ist. Die Argumentation von Simplikios reiht sich in die breitere neuplatonische Kritik an der christlichen Theologie ein, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Verehrung des toten Christus und den Gräberkult. Diese Analyse trägt zur Erhellung der spätantiken Debatten zwischen Neuplatonikern und Christen bei und verdeutlicht zugleich die methodischen Herausforderungen bei der Interpretation antiker philosophischer Texte.

Anaxagoras does indeed, as he has been said to do, represent the culminating point of the enquiry into the one bto-tv. That simple enquiry for a simple unity becomes curiously complex, just because of the very simplicity and the thorough-going and uncompromising nature of Anaxagoras' logical mind. It has with him reached a stage where it must become transformed and pass on the one hand into logic in Plato, into the enquiry about the nature of predication through Gorgias and Antisthenes, and on the other hand into metaphysics, the theory of ideas, also in Plato. This central position of Anaxagoras is made clear by the passage discussed, according to which, I think, in considering the 'homoiomeries,' we should look upon parts as 'homoiomerous' primarily to the whole i~c6otov, and only secondarily to subordinate wholes. Indeed, it is implied in Anaxagoras' principle that there are only two entities which are properly wholes, the 0c0/cpo and voDv^. To call anything else a whole is more or less arbitrary, a principle not unworthy of the most thorough-going of modern absolutists. [Conclusion, p. 141] |

The last phase of Greek philosophy has until recently been less intelli- gently studied than any other, and in our understanding of its development there are still lamentable lacunae. Three errors in particular have in the past prevented a proper appreciation of Plotinus' place in the history of philosophy. When this false trail was at length abandoned the fashion for orientalizing explanations persisted in another guise: to the earliest historians of Neo- platonism, Simon and Vacherot, the school of Plotinus was (in defiance of geographical facts) 'the school of Alexandria,' and its inspiration was mainly Egyptian. Vacherot says of Neoplatonism that it is 'essentially and radically oriental, having nothing of Greek thought but its language and procedure.' Few would be found to-day to subscribe to so sweeping a pronouncement; but the existence of an important oriental element in Plotinus' thought is still affirmed by many French and German writers.

In this paper I shall first state the problem of the unity of Empedocles' thought, then consider two difficulties in the way of a solution and the effect that not observing them has had, and finally propose and attempt to justify what appears to me to be a reasonable explanation of the problem.

Il avait semblé à Kroll (p. 24) que ce diaphragme était dit doué d’intelligence parce qu’il était dérivé du feu intelligent, et qu’il avait pour rôle de séparer les transmundana des mundana. Il apparaît maintenant, grâce au texte probant de Simplicius, qu’il est dit intelligent en vertu de l’antique association des phrenes avec le nous et qu’il a pour rôle tout à la fois de séparer et de réunir les deux premiers feux-intellects.² Cette doctrine offre de curieuses ressemblances avec le pneuma unifiant de la théologie chrétienne. Il vaudrait la peine de rechercher si c’est à la théologie orthodoxe ou à quelqu’une des sectes gnostiques³ que l’auteur des Oracula l’a empruntée. [conclusion p. 77] |

In recent decades students of mathematics, philosophy, and the classics have again and again raised their voices 1 to vindicate the serious importance of Zeno's paradoxes of motion (Vorsokr.2 29 A 25-28 - Lee,3 nos. 19-36), not even excluding the Stadium. No longer can the problem implied in the paradoxes be disposed of by simply pointing out that time and space are equally divisible. The question which is at the bottom of all four of them is far more profound. [...] Fur- thermore, it has been shown that Aristotle, when qriticizing the paradoxes, was not concerned conscientiously to adjust his objec- tions to that which the historical Zeno had tried to prove, or rather disprove. [...] If it is thus established that Zeno's syllogisms must not necessarily be condemned as a futile play of dialectics 6 and that Aristotle's censure fails to do Zeno justice, a road seems to be open to a full rehabilitation and, perhaps, glorification. But one doubt remains. How adequately did the real Zeno actually deal with the problems he had in hand? And how sincere was he about them? [pp. 1 f.] |

Ich habe hier versucht, auf engem Raum die Entstehung des Kommentars als solchen zu skizzieren, einige seiner Erscheinungsformen zu würdigen, ein paar Höchstleistungen zu werten. Gerade Entwicklungslinien darf auch auf diesem Gebiet kein Besonnener suchen oder gar „aufzeigen“; jedes Phänomen, auch in der Welt des Geistes, mag es auch noch so einfacher Struktur sein, verdankt seinen Ursprung einer Reihe von schaffenden Kräften. Auch der antike Kommentar ist aus dem Zusammenwirken verschiedener Faktoren erwachsen. Ein Kraftzentrum aber bildeten der Platonismus und der ältere Peripatos; beide, besonders letzterer, schufen die Stimmung für solche Unternehmungen, sie erzogen das Gewissen des Gelehrten. Das Genie der großen Alexandriner musste sich dann vielfach eigene Wege bahnen. Aber in allen wirklich wissenschaftlichen Kommentaren, die wir kennen, lebt der echte Geist der Aristotelischen Schule. Eine wirkliche Geschichte des antiken Kommentars scheint auch mir unbedingt notwendig. Es wird sich dabei herausstellen, wann sich ein äußeres Schema entwickelt hat und welche Kontinuität auch hier wieder wahrnehmbar ist. Umso kraftvoller aber werden sich von der überlieferten Form die Individuen der Forscher und auch Denker abheben. [conclusion p. 411-412] |
