The Pythagorean idea that number is the key to understanding reality inspired Neoplatonist philosophers in Late Antiquity to develop theories in physics and metaphysics based on mathematical models. This book examines this theme, describing first the Pythagorean interests of Platonists in the second and third centuries and then Iamblichus's programme to Pythagoreanize Platonism in the fourth century in his work On Pythagoreanism (whose unity of conception is shown and parts of which are reconstructed for the first time). The impact of Iamblichus's programme is examined as regards Hierocles of Alexandria and Syrianus and Proclus in Athens: their conceptions of the figure of Pythagoras and of mathematics and its relation to physics and metaphysics are examined and compared with those of Iamblichus. This provides insight into Iamblichus's contribution to the evolution of Neoplatonism, to the revival of interest in mathematics, and to the development of a philosophy of mathematics and a mathematizing physics and metaphysics.

Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( = Academica priom II) 118 und 123, Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff. und De nutum deorum I 25 ff. hat Hermann Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich aus mehreren Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien Luc. 118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc. 117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis zu Platon und den Pythagoreern kritisiert wird. Diels hat hier ganz auf­ fallend argumentiert. Zum einen hat er, teilweise zu Recht, hingewiesen auf Übereinstimmungen zwischen Luc. 118 und den entsprechenden Theophrastfragmenten bzw. Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­ stotelischen Physik, die Usener und er den Phys. op. zugewiesen haben.3 Als nächstes aber hat er Luc. 119-121 über die stoische Theorie der Vorsehung (SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos. fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons (fr. 32 Wehrli) entgegengesetzte Auffassungen ausgeklammert, weil dieses Stück nicht auf Theophrast zurückgeführt werden könne. Aus den nach­ folgenden Paragraphen, die über verschiedene Ansichten von den Himmelskörpern und der Erde referieren, hat er schliesslich 123 “Hiketas von Syrakus, wie Theophrast sagt” {Hicetas Syracosius, ut ait Theophrastus . . . ) usw. wieder als Beweis dafür angezogen, dass die doxographische Übersicht zur Astronomie aus den Phys. op. stamme. In der Nachfolge Kri- sches hatte schliesslich schon Diels zu Recht bemerkt, dass Ciceros unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr. 51.1) hat er als Phys. op. fr. 18 aufgenommen {DG 492-3). Es ist dies der einzige Cicerotext in der betreffenden Dielsschen Sammlung.

Book Six of Aristotle's Physics, which concerns the continuum, shows Aristotle at his best. It contains his attack on atomism which forced subsequent Greek and Islamic atomists to reshape their views entirely. It also elaborates Zeno's paradoxes of motion and the famous paradoxes of stopping and starting. This is the first translation into any modern language of Simplicius' commentary on Book Six. Simplicius, the greatest ancient authority on Aristotle's Physics whose works have survived to the present, lived in the sixth century A.D. He produced detailed commentaries on several of Aristotle's works. Those on the Physics, which alone come to over 1300 pages in the original Greek, preserve not only a centuries-old tradition of ancient scholarship on Aristotle but also fragments of lost works by other thinkers, including both the Presocratic philosophers and such Aristotalians as Eudemus, Theophrastus and Alexander. The Physics contains some of Aristotle's best and most enduring work, and Simplicius' commentaries are essential to an understanding of it. This volume makes the commentary on Book Six accessible at last to all scholars, whether or not they know classical Greek. It will be indispensible for students of classical philosophy, and especially of Aristotle, as well as for those interested in philosophical thought of late antiquity. It will also be welcomed by students of the history of ideas and philosophers interested in problem mathematics and motion. [offical abstract]

‘The articles in this volume are, in the main, the texts of papers read either in full or in part at the First International Conference on Greek Philosophy (Samos 1988)’ (from the editor’s Preface). Appropriately to such a first conference, it was devoted to the beginnings of philosophy in Greece and, more specifically, in Ionia itself. The volume includes forty- seven papers dealing with all the major figures of Ionian philosophy, from the Milesians to Anaxagoras. Pythagoras, the most illustrious native of Samos, and the Pythagoreans (technically considered an ‘Italian’ sect, but included by courtesy in the theme of the conference), attract the attention of seven scholars. The other notable Samian, Melissus, is the subject of only one contribution, by D. Furley, possibly because Melissus is usually BOOK REVIEWS 141classified by the doxographers as an Eleatic.

Alla fine del IV secolo d. C., quando il pensiero cristiano era ormai divenuto adulto ad opera di pensatori quali Origene, Mario Vittorino e Agostino (tutti debitori del platonismo e del neoplatonismo), si ebbe ad Atene, nella vecchia e gloriosa culla della civiltà antica, una rinascita della tradizione platonica ad opera di un pensatore destinato a divenire maestro degli ultimi maestri di platonismo dell'antichità.

This text discusses Simplicius' testimony concerning Anaxagoras and the authenticity of the fragments attributed to Anaxagoras, which are mostly preserved by Simplicius. While scholars have debated the authenticity of Simplicius' fragments, the author believes in Simplicius' faithfulness to the true doctrine of Anaxagoras. However, the author notes that Simplicius wrote about a thousand years after Anaxagoras, was a pupil of Proclus, and a neo-Platonist himself. The text highlights the importance of comparing Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle with the corresponding text of Aristotle to understand his personal interpretation of Anaxagoras. Finally, the text briefly discusses Anaxagoras' concept of nous and its interpretation by Plato, Aristotle, and Simplicius. [introduction/conclusion]

In this article, the author, Carlos Steel, aims to challenge the common belief that Guillaume de Moerbeke collaborated with Saint Thomas Aquinas. While the legend of their collaboration has been debunked by numerous scholars, Steel seeks to restore this "edifying story" of the partnership between the great speculative philosopher and the learned philologist. Steel examines the origins of the legend and how it was perpetuated over time. However, he acknowledges that the value of the ancient testimonies supporting this legend is now considered null. He plans to confront the tradition with the historical data from the medieval translations of Aristotle. Through a critical examination of the available documentation, Steel aims to provide new insights into this long-standing debate. [introduction]

This book brings together twenty articles giving a comprehensive view of the work of the Aristotelian commentators. First published in 1990, the collection is now brought up to date with a new introduction by Richard Sorabji. New generations of scholars will benefit from this reissuing of classic essays, including seminal works by major scholars, and the volume gives a comprehensive background to the work of the project on the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle, which has published over 100 volumes of translations since 1987 and has disseminated these crucial texts to scholars worldwide.

The importance of the commentators is partly that they represent the thought and classroom teaching of the Aristotelian and Neoplatonist schools and partly that they provide a panorama of a thousand years of ancient Greek philosophy, revealing many original quotations from lost works. Even more significant is the profound influence - uncovered in some of the chapters of this book - that they exert on later philosophy, Islamic and Western. Not only did they preserve anti-Aristotelian material which helped inspire Medieval and Renaissance science, but they present Aristotle in a form that made him acceptable to the Christian church. It is not Aristotle, but Aristotle transformed and embedded in the philosophy of the commentators that so often lies behind the views of later thinkers. [author's abstract]

Aristotle and Simplicius on Mathematical Infinity, 1981

Aristotle was the first not only to distinguish between potential and actual infinity but also to insist that potential infinity alone is enough for mathematics thus initiating an issue still central to the philosophy of mathematics. Modern scholarship, however, has attacked Aristotle's thesis because, according to the received doctrine, it does not square with Euclidean geometry and it also seems to contravene Aristotle's belief in the finitude of the physical universe. This monograph, the first thorough study of the issue, puts Aristotle's views on infinity in the proper perspective. Through a close study of the relevant Aristotelian passages it shows that the Stagirite's theory of infinity forms a well argued philosophical position which does not bear on his belief in a finite cosmos and does not undermine the Euclidean nature of geometry. The monograph draws a much more positive picture of Aristotle's views and reaffirms his disputed stature as a serious philosopher of mathematics.

Modern scholarship, however, has attacked Aristotle's thesis because, according to the received doctrine, it does not square with Euclidean geometry and it also seems to contravene Aristotle's belief in the finitude of the physical universe. This monograph, the first thorough study of the issue, puts Aristotle's views on infinity in the proper perspective. Through a close study of the relevant Aristotelian passages it shows that the Stagirite's theory of infinity forms a well argued philosophical position which does not bear on his belief in a finite cosmos and does not undermine the Euclidean nature of geometry. The monograph draws a much more positive picture of Aristotle's views and reaffirms his disputed stature as a serious philosopher of mathematics.

Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Categories is the first among three commentaries left by the renowned Neoplatonic philosopher. This commentary holds a significant place in the study of Aristotle's works, as it marks the beginning of the reading of Aristotle's oeuvre from a spiritual perspective. The prayer at the end of Simplicius' commentary highlights the transformative power of studying Aristotle's Categories, allowing the soul to ascend to higher knowledge and seek ultimate happiness. Simplicius' other commentaries, such as his work on Epictetus and De Caelo, similarly express the journey of spiritual conversion and progressive ascension to higher realities within the Neoplatonic spiritual framework. The Neoplatonic curriculum involved an ethical initiation, leading to the study of Aristotle's works and culminating in the study of Plato's Timaeus and Parmenides. Overall, Simplicius' exegesis of Aristotle's Categories reveals the profound spiritual significance and transformative potential of philosophical studies within the Neoplatonic tradition.

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.

About thirteen years ago when I was preparing an edition of some Latin 13th century quaestiones on the Sophistici Elenchi, I discovered some puzzling references to a commentary
by "Alexander", obviously a Greek. He appeared to have been a very important man to the
Westerners, for often he was simply called 'Commentator', a title reserved in other contexts for Averroes.
This discovery gave rise to the questions,(!) Who was Alexander? (2) Are there more references to him in other Latin texts? (3) Is his work extant in Latin? (4) Is it extant in Greek?
Re 1 At first I thought he must be Alexander of Aphrodisias. Now I do not know how to answer the question.
Re 2 I soon found that Minio-Paluello and De Rijk had already signalled some other references to Alexander.
Re 3 My first investigations indicated the answer would be no, and I still have not found the text in any manuscript. 
Re 4 My early research indicated the answer would be no, but that extant Greek scholia were often comparable to the Latin quotations of Alexander.
The preliminary probings suggested that a search for more Latin references to Alexander and an inquiry into the Greek scholia on the Elenchi might throw light on the origins of Western scholasticism and at the same time prove the existence of a Byzantine scholasticism comparable to that of Western Europe in the High Middle Ages. A systematic search for more fragments of the Latin translation of Alexanders's commentary resulted in the collection that figures as Vol. II, Part 2, of this study.
Studying the Greek scholia I soon realized that they could not be used for any serious purpose as long as elementary questions of dating and attribution had not been solved. Trying to find the answer to such questions, I found that investigating the whole manuscript tradition
was inescapable. The results of that investigation are presented in Vol. 1 chapter V and the appendices (in Vol. III).
Reading the Greek scholia I became convinced that Byzantine scholasticism never produced results comparable to those of its Western counterpart; but, on the other hand, a study of the late ancient and medieval Greek scholastic tradition could, indeed, throw light on the
origins of Western logic.
The results of my investigations are presented partly in the notes on "Alexander's" fragments (in Vol. Ill), partly in a series of essays on central problems (Vol. I ch.IV).
Vol. I chapters I-II contain sketches of pre-scholastic theories of fallacies, some of which were to influence the scholastics, whereas chapter III introduces scholasticism.
As both Vol. I and Vol. III discuss Greek texts that have never been printed, I have collected a number of such texts in Vol. II, editing also Galen's De captionibus because the earlier editions are no longer satisfactory.
Chapters I through W of Vol. I all have a speculative character. I have tried to rein in my imagination, but I may not always have achieved my aim. I feel sure I have misunderstood the old philosophers on several points. Perhaps it can serve as an excuse that most of the problems I deal with have not been investigated before. If there are fundamental errors in chapter V, the consequences for the rest of 'Commentators and Commentaries' will be serious, if not disastrous. I trust, however, that my results concerning the Byzantine tradition are
essentially correct. [preface]

He appeared to have been a very important man to the\r\nWesterners, for often he was simply called 'Commentator', a title reserved in other contexts for Averroes.\r\nThis discovery gave rise to the questions,(!) Who was Alexander? (2) Are there more references to him in other Latin texts? (3) Is his work extant in Latin? (4) Is it extant in Greek?\r\nRe 1 At first I thought he must be Alexander of Aphrodisias. Now I do not know how to answer the question.\r\nRe 2 I soon found that Minio-Paluello and De Rijk had already signalled some other references to Alexander.\r\nRe 3 My first investigations indicated the answer would be no, and I still have not found the text in any manuscript. \r\nRe 4 My early research indicated the answer would be no, but that extant Greek scholia were often comparable to the Latin quotations of Alexander.\r\nThe preliminary probings suggested that a search for more Latin references to Alexander and an inquiry into the Greek scholia on the Elenchi might throw light on the origins of Western scholasticism and at the same time prove the existence of a Byzantine scholasticism comparable to that of Western Europe in the High Middle Ages. A systematic search for more fragments of the Latin translation of Alexanders's commentary resulted in the collection that figures as Vol. II, Part 2, of this study.\r\nStudying the Greek scholia I soon realized that they could not be used for any serious purpose as long as elementary questions of dating and attribution had not been solved.
