Three basic notions characterize the physical world, namely space, time and matter, the first of which is usually held by scientists to be simpler than the other two. The history of physics and philosophy has shown, however, that even the concept of space abounds with difficulties, to which the doctrines of the later Neoplatonic philosophers form an impressive witness. It is proposed to give here a brief survey of the theories of topos, meaning variously “place” or “space”, from Iamblichus at the beginning of the fourth century to Simplicius in the middle of the sixth. Although most of their treatises were clad in the modest garb of commentaries on works by Plato or Aristotle, the ideas of these thinkers undoubtedly represent one of the peaks of sophistication and metaphysical acumen in the whole history of philosophy. The deliberations and inquiries of these philosophers on the concept of topos took place against a long historical background, spanning nearly a thousand years from the Presocratics to Plotinus. A short synopsis, however condensed, of the earlier developments of the concept will serve as a useful introduction, leading up to the period in which Iamblichus and his successors started to elaborate their ideas on topos. This summary will be concerned with merely the conceptual aspects of the subject and thus will not adhere to a strict chronological order. [p. 173]

This article discusses Plato's Lecture on the Good, the only lecture attributed to Plato by ancient sources. The lecture was attended by Aristotle and other students of Plato and was described as a blend of formal exposition, digressions, and asides. Although it was not a public success, the Lecture became famous in the ancient world for what the Neoplatonists presumed was its Pythagorean content. The Lecture played a role in the history of fifteenth-century Florentine Platonism under its chief architect, Marsilio Ficino, who was interested in reviving Neoplatonism and wedding it to Christianity while also dreaming of revitalizing the day-to-day life of the ancient Athenian Academy.

This article discusses a textual note in Lucretius I.744:1 that was recovered by Bailey and Maas, which replaces "ignem" with "imbrem". The author explores the reasoning behind this change, pointing out that Lucretius' use of "aera solem ignem terras animalia fruges" differs from Empedocles' use of four elements. The article also discusses various emendations of the text, including Christ's emendation of "solem" to "rorem" to create a world of air, dew, fire, and earth. The article ultimately argues for the importance of accurately understanding the original text and its relation to Empedocles' ideas. [whole text]

This text discusses the Aldine edition of Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's Physics, published in 1526. The author explains the meticulous process followed by Alde Manuce and his collaborators to prepare and compare various manuscripts of classical texts before printing them. The text also discusses the continuity of quality in Aldine editions after the death of Alde, and identifies Francesco d'Asola as the editor responsible for the 1526 edition of Simplicius. While d'Asola's conjectures are criticized as being "too bold," the author notes that there is a possibility he may have had access to the original source material. Overall, the article provides insight into the printing and publishing practices of the Aldine press during the Renaissance. [introduction/conclusion]

Most scholars who refer to the Greek commentators for help in the understanding of difficult Aristotelian texts seem to expect straightforward scholarly treatment of their problems.2 Not infrequently they are disappointed and complain about the irrelevance of the commentary they read, or inveigh against the incompetence of the commentators.3 Only Alexander is generally exempt from such censure, and that in itself is significant. For he is the only major commentator whose work survives in any considerable quantity who wrote before Neoplatonism. Shortly after Alexander the kind of thought that is conveniently described by this label came to dominate Greek philosophy, and nearly all pagan philosophy and philosophical scholarship was pursued under its influence, if not by its active adherents. It is the purpose of this paper to argue that these facts are not trivial items of background interest, but are fundamental to a proper assessment of the later commentators' opinions on points of Aristotelian scholarship.

t is not my aim in this paper to decide between the opinions of JAEGER and LANZA. I want rather to try to settle a prior question posed by JAEGER'S argument in the extract from his Gifford Lectures printed above. He appeals principally to two texts in advancing his view of Anaxagoras's 'methodical point of departure': a scholium on Gregory of Nazianzus (DK 59 B io) and a bit of Simplicius's commentary on the Physics. Do these texts provide reliable evidence for an interest in nutrition and growth on Anaxagoras's part and for the decisive role of his thinking on these matters in his general theory of matter which JAEGER discerns ?

Bearing in mind the reservations already made, what conclusions can we draw? In the first place, it is fair to say that the evidence from Simplicius does, taken overall, suggest that Iamblichus did not write a commentary on the de Anima. Consideration of Stephanus' commentary on de Anima G points in the same direction, but it must not be forgotten that that commentary contains a reference to Iamblichus' that looks more like a quotation from a de Anima commentary than any other that we have. Philoponus is less helpful, as are other members of the Alexandrian school. He certainly gives no positive indication that Iamblichus wrote a commentary, but for the reasons that we have given, the lack of such positive evidence in his case does not amount to anything like conclusive negative evidence. We cannot entirely rule out the possibility that Iamblichus did write a commentary, either on the de Anima as a whole, or on some extended part of it, but it seems probably that he did not. If he did it would certainly be fair to say that his commentary was probably of no great importance. Discussions of isolated texts of Aristotle are another matter: they are only to be expected in the work of any Neoplatonist. [conclusion, p. 556]

Der Artikel behandelt die Exegese antiker Texte und beginnt mit einem Fokus auf die Auslegung Homers. Die homerischen Epen wurden für mehr als 1000 Jahre als Quelle für Bildung und Literatur betrachtet und waren daher von großer Bedeutung für die antike Exegese. Obwohl sich die Sprache, die Werte und die mythologischen Überzeugungen von antiken Texten von der modernen Welt unterscheiden, blieben sie von Bedeutung. Die allegorische Auslegung Homers war ein Schlüsselthema, das später auch auf die christliche Exegese angewendet wurde. Die antike Exegese befasste sich nicht nur mit literarischen Werken, sondern auch mit Orakeln, Sprichwörtern und Riten. Die Methode der antiken Exegese wurde in Alexandrien von den Philologen auf wenige, einfache Fakten reduziert, aber im Allgemeinen blieb sie kontinuierlich und bestätigte das Bildungserbe, auf das sie zurückgriff. Die christliche Exegese wurde stark von der vorausgehenden antiken Exegese beeinflusst, insbesondere von der stoischen Exegese, die Werkzeuge zur Interpretation von Texten bereitstellte. Die Artikel erörtert die Kontinuität der Exegese im Laufe der Jahrhunderte und betont, dass antike Exegese ein Bildungserbe darstellt, das über Jahrhunderte hinweg bewahrt wurde.

Simplicius, In Arist. Categ.,165, 32 sqq. Kalbfleisch, give us an example of the Stoic theory of the categories which seems to be inconsistent with the better known chrysippean theory of the ‘quadri¬partite division’. In Simplicius’ statement we find a first diaeresis (kath’hautá/prós ti) and a second division or hypodiaeresis (‘differentiated relations’ and ‘simple dispositions’ or correlations). Such a division follows a rather platonic-academic schematisms, and — as in Xenocratean or Hermodorean classification of being — the concept of relation occupies in it a privilegiate place. Instead of speaking simply of a continuity between Academy and Stoa, we can more probably hypothize a change in the development of the Stoic theory. The concept of ‘relation’ has an increas¬ing importance after Chrysippus, with the elaboration, by Antipater of Tarsus, of the concept of héxis and hektón; whereas the concept of quality — which is regarded, from Zeno to Chrysippus, as a corporeal entity, substratum, pneuma — is profoundly altered by the introduction of the new concept of ‘incorporeal qualities’. Perhaps later Stoics approached Academic thought in their attempt of a new kind of division, in order to find a better ontological status for ‘relation’ and ‘incorporeity’. [Author's abstract]

Wenn Simplikios in der philosophischen Tradition des Islams nicht zu einer so festen  Größe  geworden  ist  wie  Alexander  von  Aphrodisias  oder  Themistios, so hängt das mit der historischen Stellung dieser Exegeten inner­halb der peripatetischen Schule zusammen. Ihnen gegenüber ist Simplikios nachgeboren.  Auf der anderen  Seite  hat aber offenbar sein  Zeitgenosse Johannes Philoponos, dem freilich im islamischen Bereich zu Unrecht eine Reihe medizinischer Werke zugeschrieben wurden, einen größeren Wider­hall gefunden, was wiederum mit Ausgangspunkt und Wegen der Überlie­ferung  zusammenhängt.  Wenn  man  dem  Urteil  Praechters  folgt  und  in Simplikios einen der bedeutendsten Kommentatoren des Altertums sieht, so  stehen diese Bewertung  des  Simplikios  und  seine Wirkung  im Islam nicht im  rechten Verhältnis  zueinander.

The  Alexandrian  commentator  of the sixth century A.  D., John  Philoponus, 
is arguably  the most  interesting of Aristotle's  Greek  exegetes.  He  is not  the 
most  orthodox,  since  his commentaries  are variously  infused with ideas  drawn 
from  neoplatonism,  and  from  Christian  philosophy.1  But  he  more  than 
compensates  for  exegetical  infidelity  by  his  originality  in  challenging  and 
enlarging  Aristotelianism,  particularly  in  the  area  of  physical  theory.  This 
achievement  is  well  understood  thanks  to  recent  studies  by  Sambursky, 
Wieland,  and Wolff,  that have dealt with such topics  as his theory of light, his 
concept  of mass,  his dynamics,  his theory of space,  and his polemic  against  the 
Aristotelian  belief in the eternity of the universe.2  In the present  paper  I  shall 
discuss  other  ideas  from the same  general  area  that are perhaps  less  strikingly 
original,  but  that nonetheless  illustrate  well  Philoponus'  method  of working 
within  the confines  of Aristotelian  exegesis,  whilst  injecting  his own  philoso 
phical  assumptions. [p. 151]

n  I904 E.  HAMBRUCH2 tried  to  show  that sometimes  Aristotle  himself 
uses  synonymna in  the  Speusippean sense  [...] and  that  in  so  doing he was influenced by  Speusippus. This thesis  of HAMBRUCH has been accepted 
by  several  scholars,  including LANG, STENZEL, and CHERNISS 3; and, though 
some doubts about its soundness were expressed from different points of view4, 
it  was  only  in  I97I that  Mr. Jonathan  BARNES5 made  a  systematic  assault 
on it. He contends, in the first place, that  Speusippus's conception of homonyma 
and synonyma is essentially the same as that  of Aristotle, the slight differences 
between  their respective  definitions of  each being  trivial,  and,  secondly,  that 
even  though  in  a  few  places  Aristotle  does  use  homonyma and  synonyma as 
properties of linguistic terms, this is due to  the fact  that Aristotle's use of these 
words is not  as rigid as the  Categories would lead one to  believe;  he  could not 
have  been  influenced by  Speusippus because the  latter  conceived homonymy 
and synonymy  as properties of things  and, in  any  case, if  influence of  one on 
the  other  be  assumed,  it  could  as  well  have  been  Aristotle  that  influenced 
Speusippus. 
Though  I  believe  that  his  two  main  contentions  are mistaken,  I  am  here 
mainly  concerned with  the  first part of BARNES' thesis;  for,  if he  were  right 
in  believing  that  for  Speusippus  homonyma and  synonyma are  properties of 
things  and  not  of  names  or  linguistic  terms,  then  HAMBRUCH'S notion  that 
Speusippus did influence Aristotle when the latter uses synonymon as a property 
of  names would be  wrong, even  though  BARNES himself were mistaken in his 
analysis of the Aristotelian passages he reviews in the second part of his paper.  [pp. 73 f.]

Our  main source  of information  about  the  cosmological  compo­nent  of  Parmenides’  doctrine  of Opinion —apart  from  the  first  three and a half abstruse lines of fr.  12 — is Aetius’ account.  This,  however,  is generally regarded as confused,  garbled and incompatible with fr.  12. The reconstruction of Parmenides’ cosmology is thus considered a hope­less task,  for  “it must inevitably be based on many conjectures.” I,  however, cannot accept this conclusion, for,  as I argue below,  it is possible to provide a reasonably intelligible account of Aetius’ report (except  for the corrupt sentence  about  the goddess) which is  also com­patible with fr.  12, provided, of course, that we are not bent upon prov­ing our sources incompatible,  but rather seek to reconcile them.

Jean  Pepin  recently devoted a  lengthy study  to  Aristotle's On 
Prayer;'  there  is good  reason  to  think  that  the  work never existed.  On 
Prayer is  listed  in  Diogenes  Laertius'  catalogue  of  Aristotle's writings (5.22)  and  in  the Vita Hesychii.2  The  only  other  evidence  for  its  exis- 
tence is a passage of Simplicius3 that tells us that at the end of  On Prayer Aristotle says clearly that  God is either  mind  or somehow  beyond  mind 
(6  Esoq ii  voUq  EaTiV Ti CrenCKEva TOU voU). The  claim  that  God  is be- 
yond mind  is unique  in an unemended  Aristotelian  text,  but  the notion 
would  be  acceptable  to  Simplicius  both  because,  as a Neoplatonist, he 
would  believe  it to be true,  and because  as a Neoplatonic  commentator 
on Aristotle he would be happy to find evidence  of the basic philosophi- cal  harmony  of  Aristotle  and  Plato.  Our  problem,  therefore,  is  to  see 
why Simplicius  thought  that  Aristotle  held  this view... [pp. 110 f.]

The doctrines of Parmenides of the one being and of the world of seeming were—as is well known—interpreted in different ways in the course of the history of philosophy, and even in twentieth-century historic-philosophical research, there is no agreement on the meaning of the two parts of the poem.Regarding the one being, there are four attempts of explanation to be distinguished: (1) The being is material; (2) the being is immaterial; (3) it is the esse copulae or must be seen as a modal category; (4) it is the entity of being ("Sein des Seienden"). This latter interpretation, if we can call it an interpretation, is chiefly influenced by Heidegger. The Doxa-part, however, is seen as (1) a more or less critical demography; (2) a second-best, hypothetic explanation of phenomena which is not truth but verisimilitude; (3) a systematic unit together with the First part, the aletheia. We do not have to discuss the differences between the outlined explanations separately; in the following, we shall show that some modern interpretations were already expressed in a similar way in antiquity. With this, we shall concentrate especially on the Neoplatonist Simplicius who in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics expounds the first part of the Parmenidean poem completely and, in addition, the most important doctrines of the second part. [Introduction, p. 30]
