The particular focus of this volume is a study of the influence of Timaeus on the development of Western cosmology in three axial periods of European culture: Late Antiquity, Middle Ages and Renaissance. In each period, the Timaeus was read in a different context and from different perspectives. During the Middle Ages, scholars were mostly interested in reconciling the rational cosmology of the Timaeus with the Christian understanding of creation. In Late Antiquity, the concordance of Plato with Aristotle was considered the most important issue, whereas in early modern times, the confrontation with the new mathematical physics offered possibilities for a fresh assessment of Plato's explanation of the cosmos. The present volume has three sections corresponding to these three periods of interpreting the Timaeus, each sectionis introduced by a synthesis of the main issues at discussion. This 'epochal' approach gives this volume its particular character. [author's abstract]

[Conclusion, pp. 210 f.]: The greatest debt [...] that Copernicus the cosmologist owed was not to Renaissance Platonism or a revamped Aristotelianism. It was rather to the variety of ancient learning promoted by Renaissance humanists during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. To them he owed., that is, not just the wherewithal and encouragement to consult a much wider library of classical authors than his scholastic predecessors were wont to do but also the intellectual flexibility to regard his sources as no more than that - sources for ideas rather than authorities. In this Copernicus was typical of many sixteenth- and seventeenth-century 'scientific' thinkers, Galileo included.282 But Renaissance humanism left its mark in another important respect. Copernicus set himself the task of learning Greek, and this provided him, if the evidence above is to be trusted, with one of his most important cosmological doctrines.

In late antiquity, as in all other periods, philosophy had the power to change a person’s choice of life and scale of values. The ‘shakers’ of my title are people who passed on this sort of impact to others. Philosophy, including Platonist philosophy, also addressed the intellectual’s relation to contemporary society. If that society was incurably misguided, then the philosopher might have no option except to leave it. In late antiquity, some took this option, and they are my ‘movers’. Both the ‘shakers’ and the ‘movers’ need to be understood in terms of the philosophy they professed, but a sufficient understanding of their actions does not require a deep analysis of their deepest thoughts. They are within a historian’s grasp, and so I will discuss individuals, their texts and contexts without a close reading of particular arguments. [Introduction, p. 19]

In der Schrift de aeternitate mundi (aetm.) des Johannes Philoponos aus der Zeit bald nach 529 n. Chr. gibt es über eine Reihe von bereits näher beleuchteten Quellen und doxographischen Nachrichten hinaus eine größere Anzahl von bisher unbeachteten doxographischen Materialien, Paraphrasen und/oder Zitaten aus verlorenen Schriften antiker Autoren. Unter quellenkritischen und doxographischen Gesichtspunkten im engeren Sinn ist aetm. noch nicht eigens untersucht worden. Das wird sicherlich damit zu tun haben, daß die Erforschung der doxographischen Überlieferung vor gut hundert Jahren ihren Schwerpunkt auf die vorplatonische Tra- dition setzte und unter diesem Gesichtspunkt aetm. offenbar ver- nachlässigen zu können glaubte, zumal H.Rabe als Herausgeber von aetm. in seinen Fußnoten die Textnachweise aus den großen Dichtern und Philosophen wie Homer, Piaton, Aristoteles, Plotin usw., soweit möglich, zuverlässig geführt hat1. Möglicherweise ist daran auch die Einschätzung des letzten Rezensenten der Rabe- schen Edition aus dem Jahre 1 90 1 nicht unbeteiligt, der aetm. für un- ergiebig im Hinblick auf verlorene Quellen hielt und meinte, aetm. habe lediglich bekanntes Material zu bieten.

The philosophical commentary emerged as an important mode of expression towards the end of the Hellenistic period and into Late Antiquity, as Plato and Aristotle were regarded as philosophical authorities and their works were subject to intense study. This entry provides a concise account of how the revival of interest in the philosophy of Aristotle developed into the commentary tradition, with special emphasis on the study of the Categories. The commentary format was not only used to expound the works of Aristotle, but also as a vehicle for original philosophical theorizing. The commentators shared the practice of reading and commenting on Aristotle's texts, but there was no philosophy of the commentators in the sense of a definite set of doctrines that all the ancient commentators on Aristotle shared. The exegetical tradition was diverse, and different commentators developed different lines of interpretations in the light of the different concerns that motivated their exegesis.

The ancient Greek commentators on Aristotle's brief consideration of self-perception engaged in an extensive discussion of the problem, offering various interpretations of apperception from the second to sixth century. The commentators modeled their explanation of self-awareness in perception on their understanding of the nature of knowledge in general and their notion of what the core meaning of truth was.

The article discusses the significance of the discovery of papyrus fragments from Empedocles' Physics in Strasbourg, the first time a text from a known Presocratic philosopher has been found in a papyrus. Despite being a disappointment due to the overlapping content with the longest extant fragment of Physics Book I, the author offers a new solution to the puzzles presented by the papyrus. By reconstructing a passage from Empedocles' Physics 131 verses long, the author reveals a more coherent and less bizarre philosophical system and argues that Empedocles composed one poem instead of two. The English translation is written in verse to capture the poetic qualities of the original poem and reveals the extent of Lucretius' debt to Empedocles. The article offers a plausible and coherent account of the papyrus and has implications for different interpretations of Empedocles' system. [introduction/conclusion]

This book introduces the Age of Justinian, the last Roman century and the first flowering of Byzantine culture. Dominated by the policies and personality of emperor Justinian I (527–565), this period of grand achievements and far-reaching failures witnessed the transformation of the Mediterranean world. In this volume, twenty specialists explore the most important aspects of the age including the mechanics and theory of empire, warfare, urbanism, and economy. It also discusses the impact of the great plague, the codification of Roman law, and the many religious upheavals taking place at the time. Consideration is given to imperial relations with the papacy, northern barbarians, the Persians, and other eastern peoples, shedding new light on a dramatic and highly significant historical period.

Aristotle believed that the outermost stars are carried round us on a transparent sphere. There are directions in the universe and a preferred direction of rotation. The sun, moon and planets are carried on different revolving spheres. The spheres and celestial bodies are composed of an everlasting fifth element, which has none of the ordinary contrary properties like heat and cold which could destroy it, but only the facility for uniform rotation. But this creates problems as to how the heavenly bodies create light, and, in the case of the sun, heat. The topics covered in this part of Simplicius' commentary are: the speeds and distances of the stars; that the stars are spherical; why the sun and moon have fewer motions than the other five planets; why the sphere of the fixed stars contains so many stars whereas the other heavenly spheres contain no more than one (Simplicius has a long excursus on planetary theory in his commentary on this chapter); discussion of people's views on the position, motion or rest, shape, and size of the earth; that the earth is a relatively small sphere at rest in the centre of the cosmos.

If there is a single text that has proven to be the bedrock for the modern understanding of early Greek astronomy, it is Simplicius’ commentary on book 2 chapter 12 of Aristotle’s treatise, De caelo. Simplicius’ remarks, which are effectively an elaboration of what he supposes Aristotle to mean in Meta. Λ 8, are almost always accepted as gospel in their broad outlines. I have written at length elsewhere that Simplicius’ comments on De caelo 2.12
do not constitute an account of what Aristotle meant in Meta. Λ 8 that we should accept today as properly historical. That scholars today persist in reading Meta. Λ 8 and other early texts as indicating knowledge of the planetary stations and retrogradations is a puzzle. One only wishes, when these scholars have elaborated their interpretations of Meta. Λ 8  and of the other related texts written before the late second century that concern the planetary motions, that they not stop here as if their work as historians were done. Obviously, it will not be enough if they simply adduce relevant testimonia by later ancient writers. Not only are these testimonia few in number and date to a time after the characteristic planetary motions were duly understood, they typically prove on critical examination to be either ambiguous or anachronistic in the same way as Simplicius’ account is. Consequently, any appeal to such testimonia without critical argument in defense of their historical validity is pointless. Indeed, the burden must fall on these scholars to demonstrate that Meta. Λ 8 and the other early texts must be read in this way. For, absent such proof, all one has is the fallacy of imputing to a writer the perceived consequences of what he writes.
Given the exigencies of publication, this annotated translation will come in two parts. The first, presented here, is devoted to Simplicius’ commentary on De caelo 2.10–11. These chapters in the De caelo raise stock issues in astronomy; and it is valuable, I think, for readers interested in Simplicius’ account of planetary theory in 2.12 to see and assess just how he deals with them. Indeed, not only does Simplicius’ commentary on 2.10–11 show him drawing on a tradition of technical writing for novices and philosophers that goes back to Geminus and Cleomedes, it also shows him going astray on fundamental points in elementary mathematics. And this is surely important for our interpretation of his commentary on 2.12.
The annotation itself is, as I have said, intended to assist the reader with information that may be needed to make sense of the text. My main aim is to allow access to Simplicius that is as little encumbered by my interpretative intrusion as is feasible, since my hope in this publication is that the reader will confront Simplicius for himself by himself, so far as this is possible in a translation.

This completes my translation of the narrowly astronomical sections of Simplicius’ com-
mentary on Aristotle’s De caelo that first appeared in SCIAMVS 4 (2003) 23–58. Its
aim, as before, is to supply the reader with a suitably annotated rendering of Simplicius’
text that will facilitate addressing the critical questions of the nature, construction, and
historical value of Simplicius’ commentary, especially as it bears on the history of earlier
Greek astronomical theorizing. [introduction]

Simplicius’ Corollary on Place (Corollarium de loco) is not a doxographic text but a strictly Neoplatonic philosophical work, with its own philosophical method. It takes the form of a digression interrupting the continuity of Simplicius’ commentary on Aristotle’s Physics (itself a written work intended for readers, hoi entugkhanontes, hoi enteuxomenoi), and its literary genre is that of a monograph treatise using dialectic and exegesis as its principal methods. The dialectical method consists in discussing the opinions of Simplicius’ predecessors, ancient and modern, mainly Aristotle and Proclus, to pave the way for the exposition of the truth, following the method inaugurated by Aristotle in the Topics and still very much alive. It also proceeds by puzzles and solutions (aporiai kai luseis). Th e exegetic method reappears even within a digression which breaks with the continuous commentary and Simplicius devotes sometimes long passages to quoting and commenting on texts from Aristotle, Theophrastus, Proclus, and Damascius, but also from the Chaldaean Oracles, Iamblichus, or Syrianus. Throughout this piece Simplicius maintains complete control over his material which includes the art of rhetoric, dialectical technique, and his philosophic intention. In it, he replaces the Aristotelian defi nition of place (‘the first unmoved boundary of the surrounding body’ (to tou periekhontos peras akinêton prôton), Phys . 4.4, 212a20–1) with a new defi nition taken from his master Damascius (place is the measure of the intrinsic positioning (metron tês theseôs) of the parts of a body, and of its right position in a greater surrounding whole), and he departs from Aristotle’s thought with a radical innovation which progressively works its way in.

It takes the form of a digression interrupting the continuity of Simplicius\u2019 commentary on Aristotle\u2019s Physics (itself a written work intended for readers, hoi entugkhanontes, hoi enteuxomenoi), and its literary genre is that of a monograph treatise using dialectic and exegesis as its principal methods. The dialectical method consists in discussing the opinions of Simplicius\u2019 predecessors, ancient and modern, mainly Aristotle and Proclus, to pave the way for the exposition of the truth, following the method inaugurated by Aristotle in the Topics and still very much alive. It also proceeds by puzzles and solutions (aporiai kai luseis). Th e exegetic method reappears even within a digression which breaks with the continuous commentary and Simplicius devotes sometimes long passages to quoting and commenting on texts from Aristotle, Theophrastus, Proclus, and Damascius, but also from the Chaldaean Oracles, Iamblichus, or Syrianus. Throughout this piece Simplicius maintains complete control over his material which includes the art of rhetoric, dialectical technique, and his philosophic intention. In it, he replaces the Aristotelian defi nition of place (\u2018the first unmoved boundary of the surrounding body\u2019 (to tou periekhontos peras akin\u00eaton pr\u00f4ton), Phys . 4.4, 212a20\u20131) with a new defi nition taken from his master Damascius (place is the measure of the intrinsic positioning (metron t\u00eas these\u00f4s) of the parts of a body, and of its right position in a greater surrounding whole), and he departs from Aristotle\u2019s thought with a radical innovation which progressively works its way in.

The section devoted to Physics 8.1 is one of the most extensive and interesting in Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8. On the one hand, it contains Simplicius’ usual meticulous comments on the text of Aristotle, who here begins his demonstration of the eternity of motion. As is his wont, the Stagirite starts out with a critical survey of the views of his predecessors, which gives Simplicius the opportunity to quote and explain a number of important fragments of Presocratic philosophers (Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus, the Atomists, Diogenes of Apollonia, and especially Empedocles). But the bulk of Simplicius’ commentary on Physics 8.1 consists of one of his famous digressions, in which he quotes and attempts to refute several fragments from Book 6 of "Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World," written by his Christian rival, John Philoponus, sometime in the 530s. Many of the arguments of both Philoponus and Simplicius concerning time, eternity, and the nature of the infinite are of considerable philosophical importance, as a number of recent studies have shown. Quite apart from the intrinsic interest of the various arguments mobilized by both interlocutors, however, Book 8.1 of Simplicius’ "Commentary on Physics," together with his "Commentary on the de Caelo," provide us with vitally important documents concerning the conflict between pagans and Christians in the second quarter of the sixth century AD.

Simplicius, the Neoplatonic philosopher, and commentator from late antiquity, devoted one of his commentaries to Epictetus’ Enchiridion. In the article, the author posed the question about the place of the text by the Stoic writer within the whole Neoplatonic education system. In addition, he asked to what extent the act of commenting on Epictetus’ work could be conceived by Simplicius as a kind of spiritual exercise. In the second part of the article, the hypothesis by M. Tardieu and I. Hadot is presented, suggesting that the city of Harran could be regarded as the possible place of exile where the group of philosophers settled after the Platonic Academy had been closed.

The  translation  includes  an  introduction  to  the  Simplicius’  commentary 
on Epictetus’ Enchiridion. The author of the commentary explains to whom 
is  the work  of Epictetus  addressed,  what is  the scope  o f the  Enchiridion, 
the  meaning  of  the  title  and  the  literary  genre  to  which  it  belongs. 
The  supposed  audience  is  the  reader  who  wants  to  live  in  accordance 
with  reason  on  the  level  of ethical  and  political  virtues.  Such  a  reader 
ought to internalize Epictetus’ teaching and appeal to it in the challenging 
moments  of life.  The  Stoic  content  has  been  enriched with  the  Platonic 
teaching  drawn  from  Alcibiades  I   about  relationship  between  the  soul 
and the body. The first Polish translation of Simplicius’ text has been based 
on the Ilsetraut Hadot’s edition. [author's abstract]

Robbert van den Berg in Chapter 13 below fi nds a rather cursory attempt by Ammonius to restore harmony between himself and Proclus on whether Aristotle recognises any names as natural, aft er having said in the fi rst two chapters of On Interpretation that spoken sounds are symbols and signs which signify by convention what is in our minds. Proclus had given an elaborate theological theory of a divine name- giver providing natural names which matched Ideas, not in their sound but in their meaning, and of expert human name- givers possessing only principles ( logoi ) derived from Ideas and projecting the logoi into their imaginations to get a natural representation. In the case of naming the gods, the result could be like the statues which accurately represent gods and (in a theory of statues closer to Iamblichus than to Porphyry as described above) receive divine illumination. Ammonius does the minimum to support his teacher’s divergence from Aristotle. He connects belief in the effi cacy of divine names only with an obscure Egyptian priest, Dousareios, and he qualifies Aristotle’s insistence on the conventionality of meaning only to the extent of pointing out that some names have a meaning that is naturally appropriate. Thus Archelaos, etymologically ‘leader of the people’ is naturally appropriate for a kingly person (but apparently laos , ‘people’ is not naturally appropriate for people). [introduction]

Proclus had given an elaborate theological theory of a divine name- giver providing natural names which matched Ideas, not in their sound but in their meaning, and of expert human name- givers possessing only principles ( logoi ) derived from Ideas and projecting the logoi into their imaginations to get a natural representation. In the case of naming the gods, the result could be like the statues which accurately represent gods and (in a theory of statues closer to Iamblichus than to Porphyry as described above) receive divine illumination. Ammonius does the minimum to support his teacher\u2019s divergence from Aristotle. He connects belief in the effi cacy of divine names only with an obscure Egyptian priest, Dousareios, and he qualifies Aristotle\u2019s insistence on the conventionality of meaning only to the extent of pointing out that some names have a meaning that is naturally appropriate. Thus Archelaos, etymologically \u2018leader of the people\u2019 is naturally appropriate for a kingly person (but apparently laos , \u2018people\u2019 is not naturally appropriate for people).

Despite Diogenes Apollonia's popularity in the fifth century, he has been largely overlooked by histories of philosophy and is often dismissed as an eclectic thinker. The author discusses Diogenes' contributions to the history of philosophy, particularly his relationship between his noetics and teleology, and his role in promoting the doctrine of "material monism". The author also examines the reception of Diogenes' thought and the origin of his reputation as an eclectic. Finally, the author compares Theophrastus' criticism of Diogenes to Plato's criticism of Anaxagoras in the Phaedo, suggesting that Anaxagoras and Diogenes may have been more similar in their thinking than previously thought.

Die stoische Philosophie steht in ihren grundsätzlichen Annahmen zur Erkenntnistheorie, zur Ontologie und zur Psychologie dem Platonismus diametral entgegen. Wenn mit Simplikios ein Philosoph der neuplatonischen Schule das Werk eines Stoikers durch eine ausführliche Kommentierung würdigt und diesem im Curriculum des Philosophieunterrichts einen Platz einräumt, scheinen sich die gängigen Vorurteile gegen den Neuplatonismus als eine alles vereinnahmende und harmonisierende Philosophie zu bestätigen. Ein Blick auf das Bildungsverständnis des Neuplatonismus und den in den Texten ausführlich reflektierten erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlagen bietet jedoch Anlass sowohl zur Skepsis gegenüber diesen Vorwürfen als auch zu einer differenzierten Untersuchung des Verhältnisses von platonischer und stoischer Ethik in der Spätantike. Am Beispiel von Simplikios' Kommentar zum 'Handbüchlein der Moral' des Epiket soll im vorliegenden Buch die Möglichkeit der Verwendung stoischer Texte als Vorbereitung für den Einstieg in das neuplatonische Bildungsprogramm dargelegt und begründet werden, ohne dass der Einsatz dieser Texte zu einer Vermischung der stoischen mit den platonisch-aristotelischen Theorien führt. So liefert Simplikios mit seinem Kommentar eine wissenschaftliche Ethik des Neuplatonismus, die mit der Darlegung und Beschreibung der Anweisungen Epiktets dem Unkundigen sowohl einen ersten Zugang in das philosophische Leben bietet als auch mit seinen weiterführenden Kommentierungen die rationalen Begründungen dieser Handlungsaufforderungen offenlegt.
