| The mutual interaction of philosophy and Roman political and cultural life has aroused more and more interest in recent years among students of classical literature, Roman history, and ancient philosophy. In this volume, which gathers together some of the papers originally delivered at a series of seminars in the University of Oxford, scholars from all three disciplines explore the role of Platonism and Aristotelianism in Roman intellectual, cultural, and political life from the second century BC to the third century AD. |

| In this paper I shall be considering the emerge, or rather re-emerge, of Platonic commentary around the end of the Hellenistic age. That is the period which forms the essential background to our chief surviving specimens of the genre, the great fifth-century Platonic commentaries of Proclus. Specifically, I intend to examine why Platonic philosophy came to such a large extent to take the form of commentary, and how the resources of the commentary format were deployed for the task of establishing, preserving, and exploiting Plato's philosophical authority.

| hen Theophrastus died, his library, which included the library of Aristotle, was carried off to the Troad. His successors found nothing much to read; the Lyceum sank into a decline; and Peripatetic ideas had little influence on the course of Hellenistic philosophy. It was only with the rediscovery of the library that Aristotelianism revived— and it revived in Italy. For the library' went from the Troad to Athens— whence, as part of Sulla’s war-booty, to Rome. There Andronicus of Rhodes produced the ‘Roman edition’ of the corpus Aristotelicum. It was the first complete and systematic version of Aristotle’s works, the first publication in their full form of the technical treatises, the first genu inely critical edition of the text. Andronicus’ Roman edition caused a sensation. It revitalised the languishing Peripatetics. It set off an explosion of Aristotelian studies. It laid the foundation for all subse quent editions of Aristotle’s works, including our modern texts. When we read .Aristotle we should pour a libation to Andronicus— and to Sulla.That story is the main subject of the following pages. It is familiar enough; my argument will be laborious; I have nothing new to say about it; and my general conclusions are dispiritingly sceptical. But recent scholarship on the topic has taken to the bottle of phantasy and stumbled drunkenly from one dogmatism to the next. Another look at the pertinent texts may be for given— and in any event the story is a peach. [p. 1] |

His successors found nothing \r\nmuch to read; the Lyceum sank into a decline; and Peripatetic ideas \r\nhad little influence on the course of Hellenistic philosophy. It was only \r\nwith the rediscovery of the library that Aristotelianism revived\u2014 and it \r\nrevived in Italy. For the library' went from the Troad to Athens\u2014 \r\nwhence, as part of Sulla\u2019s war-booty, to Rome. There Andronicus of \r\nRhodes produced the \u2018Roman edition\u2019 of the corpus Aristotelicum. It was \r\nthe first complete and systematic version of Aristotle\u2019s works, the first \r\npublication in their full form of the technical treatises, the first genu\u00ad\r\ninely critical edition of the text. Andronicus\u2019 Roman edition caused a \r\nsensation. It revitalised the languishing Peripatetics. It set off an \r\nexplosion of Aristotelian studies. It laid the foundation for all subse\u00ad\r\nquent editions of Aristotle\u2019s works, including our modern texts. When \r\nwe read .Aristotle we should pour a libation to Andronicus\u2014 and to \r\nSulla.That story is the main subject of the following pages. It is \r\nfamiliar enough; my argument will be laborious; I have nothing \r\nnew to say about it; and my general conclusions are dispiritingly \r\nsceptical. But recent scholarship on the topic has taken to the \r\nbottle of phantasy and stumbled drunkenly from one dogmatism \r\nto the next. Another look at the pertinent texts may be for\u00ad\r\ngiven\u2014 and in any event the story is a peach.
