The relations between Paganism and Christianity in the fourth century seemed a suitable theme for a course of lectures at the Warburg Institute. The eight lectures here collected were delivered in the academic year 1958-9 and are published as they were delivered. It was, however, considered expedient to translate into English the two lectures which were given in French and the one which was in German.. The lecturers were left free to choose their own subject and to add the notes they wanted for publication. Specialists will judge each paper on its individual merits. For the general reader I have added, by way of introduction, a few pages on the problem of Christianity and the decline of the Roman empire. They were originally part of the two Taft Lectures which I delivered in the University of Cincinnati in 1959. A. M." [preface]

Questo volume offre la prima edizione integrale dei frammenti e delle testimonianze su Zenone di Elea, grande filosofo presocratico, allievo di Parmenide e padre della dialettica. La traduzione, con testo greco a fronte, e l’ampio commento consentono di ricostruire l’immagine dell’Eleate, celebre per i suoi argomenti contro il movimento e la molteplicità. Emerge la figura di un filosofo consapevole che l’esistenza è una continua tensione tra l’unità realizzata dalla ragione (logos) e la molteplicità degli eventi offerti dall’esperienza, i quali vanno affrontati nella loro problematicità e anche contraddittorietà. Egli opera un attacco possente e complessivo alla realtà fenomenica, insegnando all’Occidente a misurarsi con le aporie, tanto che i suoi paradossi sono ancora al centro della filosofia, della fisica e della matematica contemporanee. Lucia Palpacelli è docente di Storia della filosofia antica all’Università di Macerata. Tra i suoi scritti ricordiamo: L’«Eutidemo» di Platone. Una commedia straordinariamente seria (Vita e Pensiero, 2009); Aristotele interprete di Platone. Anima e cosmo (Morcelliana, 2013). È tra gli autori di Filosofia antica. Una prospettiva multifocale, a cura di Arianna Fermani e Maurizio Migliori (Scholé, 2020). [author's abstract]

Kepler, who, as we all know, lived under the new heaven created by Copernicus, discusses the question whether the planets are moved by Intelligences or by souls or by nature. His consideration of Intelligences as possible movers of the planets refers to a view held by those who in the Middle Ages lived under the old Ptolemaic heaven, the term Intelligences being, by a complexity of miscegenation, a descendant of what Aristotle describes as incorporeal substances. His consideration of souls or nature as possible movers of the planets touches upon a topic which was made into a problem b y the Byzantine Greek commentators of Aristotle.In this paper I shall try to show how the Byzantine commentators, in their study of the text of Aristotle, were confronted with a certain problem, how they solved that problem, and how their solution of that problem led to other problems and solutions, all of which lingered in philosophic literature down to Kepler.

As long ago as 1928 Professor E. R. Dodds' demonstrated the dependence of the One of Plotinus on an interpretation of the first hypothesis of the Parmenides. His demonstration has been universally accepted. But Dodds not only showed the depen- dence of Plotinus on the Parmenides but also offered an account of the history of the doctrine of the One between the late fourth century B.C. and the third century A.D. His view is that the first three hypotheses of the Parmenides were already treated in what we should call a Neoplatonic fashion by Moderatus, a Neo- pythagorean of the second half of the first century A.D.; further, that Moderatus was not the originator of this interpretation, whose origins can in fact be traced back through Eudorus (ca. 25 B.C.) and the Neopythagoreans of his day to the Old Academy. Though Dodds is somewhat unclear at this point,2 he seems to suggest that already before the time of Eudorus the Parmenides was being interpreted in Neopythagorean fashion. In order to check this derivation, we should look at the three stages of it in detail. These stages are the Neopythagoreanism of Moderatus, the theories of Eudorus, and those of Speusippus and the Old Academy in general. [p. 389]

This text discusses the interpretation and translation of a fragment of Theophrastus and Plutarch. The word "zôros" is of particular concern, as there is difficulty in determining its meaning, with some suggesting it means "mixed" while others argue it means "undiluted." The author suggests that the reading of the Empedocles line should be restored to "zôra" meaning "undiluted" and that the modern interpretation of "mixed" is unjustifiable. The text also examines the use of "zôra" in Philumenus' work and argues that there is no occurrence in which it means "mixed." [whole text]

The treatises which form the Hippocratic Corpus are not the work of a single individual, and there is abundant evidence that they were itten over a period of at least two hundred years. It is, there ore, essential, in attempting to reconstruct the scientific world view of the early period, that we rely so far as possible on treatises belonging to this period. Unfortunately, in the present state of Hippocratic studies, it is impossible to date these works with any exactitude. On the other hand, certain of them belong pretty clearly to the fifth century; and it seems fairly well established that the view of the constitution of man which most of them assume dates from the time of Alcmaeon, who flourished around the turn of the century. Since this view is based upon an analogy between microcosm and macrocosm, the processes involved in sickness and health reflect on a small scale the greater processes which constitute the life of the cosmos as a whole; thus, indirectly, these treatises illuminate in striking ways aspects of the larger world-view implicit in the fragments of the early cosmologists, but obscured by the fewness of these fragments and the imperfect state in which they have been preserved. In the present study they are used to illuminate just such obscurities. [pp. 676 f.]

In Heracitus  and Parmenides assumptions which form the  basis of on the contrary it may be said that difficulties which were less apparent 
as  long  as  the  discussion confined itself  to  individual fragments or 
groups of  fragments become more visible  when the  entire scheme is 
worked out  and  presented.  Perhaps the  wisest  course would  be  to 
admit ignorance on crucial points. If I, nevertheless, prefer to offer an 
alternative  reconstruction - in  essential  aspects  a  revival  of  von 
Arnim's3 -  my  hope is  that,  whether right or wrong, it  will  serve a 
good purpose if it shows that opinions currently accepted are not firmly 
grounded in the evidence at  our disposal. [pp. 109 f.]
our  interpretation  are  subject  to  frequent  reexaminations and 
revisions. With Empedocles  matters  are different.  Here  large 
hypotheses have  for a long time remained unchallenged and are now 
near  the  point  of  hardening into  dogmas.  In  particular the  recon- 
struction of a dual cosmogony in his "cycle", originally a theory which 
had  to  contend  with  others,  is  now  often  regarded as  established, 
treated  as  though  it  were  a  fact,  and  used  as  premise for  further 
inferences. The  only  full  scale  interpretation of  the  evidence  which 
backs up this theory is Ettore Bignone's Empedoclel; yet whatever the 
merits of this book, it can hardly be denied that in the fifty years since 
its publication  we  have  learned  many  new  lessons  regarding the 
relative  value  of  testimonies  and  fragments, the  trustworthiness of 
Aristotle's  reports  on  his  precursors, and  other  questions  of  vital 
bearing on the  reconstruction of  a  Presocratic system.  A  recent text 
book which seeks to  fit  the  material into  the  framework of  two  cos- 
mogonies does not in my opinion succeed in strengthening this position

This text discusses the limited knowledge of the history of Aristotle's text, De caelo, due to the large number of Greek manuscripts and translations in various languages. The author focuses on the indirect tradition of the text, which includes summaries, paraphrases, and extracts by ancient commentators such as Alexander of Aphrodisias, Proclus, Philoponus, and Simplicius. The author compares this indirect tradition to the direct tradition and notes the difficulties in reconstructing the original text due to the multiple manuscript variants resulting from the philological activities of ancient commentators and scribes. The author's aim is to offer a modest contribution to the study of the text's transmission history. [introduction]

It  is  commonly maintained that  Melissus was the  major forerunner 
of  atomism. This  has  been  argued  on  a  number  of  grounds,  one  of 
these  being  that Leucippus reacted to  a  Melissean  rather  than a 
Parmenidean refutation of  locomotion. In  the  following short  paper  I 
shall challenge this view and point out that not only is one other 
argument  for  Melissus'  influence  on  atomism  insecure,  but  that  Theo- 
phrastus, our most important witness, unequivocally states that 
Leucippus  opposed  a pre-Melissean  eleaticism. [p. 1]

This text is a critical analysis of the location of two fragments of the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides. The author of the text suggests that the two fragments, VS 28 B 10 (Clement, Strom. 5, I38) and VS 28 B 11 (Simplicius, de Caelo 559, 20), are incorrectly placed together in Parmenides' Way of Seeming. The author argues that there is no evidence to suggest that the two fragments were meant to be together, and that they do not fit into the context of Parmenides' work. The author also suggests that VS 28 B 10 may not be Parmenidean at all, and discusses its possible attribution to Empedocles. The text concludes by considering the language and style of the two fragments, and their relationship to Parmenides' other works. [summary of the whole text]

A  commentary by Simplicius on the premisses to Book I of Euclid’s Elements 
survives in an Arabic translation of which the author and the exact date 
of execution are unknown.  The translation is reproduced by the ninth-century 
mathematician  al-Fadl ibn  Hâtim  al-Nayrïzï in the  course  of his  own com­
mentary  on  the  Elements.  Of Nayrïzî’s  commentary,  which is  based  on  the 
earlier translation of the Elements by al-Hajjâj ibn Yûsuf ibn Matar, we have 
only one  manuscript copy at Leiden  and  Gerard  of Cremona’s  Latin trans­
lation, both of which have been published.1The  passages  quoted  by  Nayrïzï,  owing  to  their  extensiveness  and  con­
secutive  order,  would strongly lead  one  to  assume  that  they together  make 
up the whole of Simplicius’s text.  In what follows, however, I shall argue that 
they suffer from at least one important omission : a proof by Simplicius himself 
of Euclid’s parallels postulate.  Since the omission occurs both in the Leiden 
manuscript  and  in  Gerard’s  translation,  it  cannot  simply  be  an  accidental 
feature  of  the  former.  My  argument  will  consist  in  (i)  citing  evidence 
(Document  I)  to  the  effect  that  such  a  proof was  known  to  some  Arabic 
mathematicians,  and  (2)  producing  a  hitherto  unnoticed  text  (Document 
II)  which,  in  the  light of the  evidence  cited,  may  well  be  taken  to  be  the 
missing proof.  In addition, I shall show how Simplicius’s proof entered Arabic 
discussions on parallels, first, by being made subject to criticism (Document I), 
and then by being incorporated into a new proof which was designed to take 
that criticism into account (Document III). [p. 1]
