The main pourpose of this paper is to offer an exposition and a critical examina- tion of the ancient interpretations of Aristotle's doctrine of h o m o n y m . A circum- locution of what Aristotle means by h o m o n y m things is given in Categories, Ch. I I a. The ancient interpretations with which we are concerned in this paper are to be found in the extant commentaries on this treatise. Evidently, more com- mentaries had been written on the Categories than the vicissitudes of time allowed to survive, but we have only those of the following writers: Porphyrius (c: 233-303), Dexippus (ft. c. 350), Ammonius (ft. C. 485), Philoponus (c. 490-530), Olympiodorus (ft. c. 535), $implicius (ft. c. 533), Elias (ft. c. 550). One might add here the relevant writings of John Damascene (675-749), Photius (820-891), and Michael Psellus (1018-1079), which are useful paraphrases rather than full commentaries; for that reason the interpretations they support are not discussed in this paper.

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).

Die Widerlegung des Manichäismus im Kommentar des Simplikios zu Epiktet von Ilsetraut Hadot ist eine Studie über die Existenz und den Ursprung des Bösen, ein Thema, das im Encheiridion des Epiktet seinen Platz findet. Hadot zeigt, dass Simplikios mit Epiktet in der Ablehnung des ontologischen Charakters des Bösen übereinstimmt, da die Natur des Bösen keinen Platz in der Welt hat, und er verwendet auch stoische Argumente, die auch im Neuplatonismus und im Christentum verwendet werden, um das Thema zu behandeln. Simplikios argumentiert gegen das manichäische System mit einem polemischen Ton, der den polemischen Werken anderer Autoren gegen die Manichäer ähnelt. Simplikios hält die gründliche Widerlegung des manichäischen Systems für notwendig, insbesondere seit dem Wiederaufleben der Manichäer im byzantinischen Reich. Simplikios' Kommentar soll als Anleitung zur Selbstvervollkommnung dienen, und aus diesem Grund bietet er nicht nur eine umfassende Diskussion über den Ursprung des Bösen, sondern widmet auch einen beträchtlichen Teil seines Werks der gründlichen Widerlegung des manichäischen Systems. Simplikios stützt sich bei seiner Argumentation auf das philosophische System von Proklos und erwähnt die Manichäer nur im zweiten Teil seiner Erörterung, in dem er die Hypothese widerlegt, dass das Böse als Prinzip neben dem Guten angesehen werden kann.

Review: In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the period of Greek philosophy after Aristotle. Since ancient Greek thought exhibits unbroken continuity, the commentaries on Aristotle from late antiquity retain an authenticity and value for the study of Aristotle himself, which have not always been sufficiently recognized. This extensive and learned work is a study of time as presented by Simplicius in his commentary on Aristotle's Physics and in the Doubts and Solutions of Simplicius' teacher, Damascius. It sheds new light not only on the Neoplatonic philosophy of time but also on the notorious "difficulties" of Aristotle regarding time. The work presents a significant amount of philosophical argument, often complex and subtle. Therefore, some oversimplification is necessary. Damascius and Simplicius utilize materials from two different philosophies of time: Aristotle's and Plotinus'. Aristotle's view is that time is the number of motion according to before and after, based on the phenomenon of regular and endless physical motion. Although number, in Aristotle, is a mathematical abstraction, time, being a number, is not merely ideal or mathematical but is actually verified in the physical world. Soul or mind is needed to make the before-and-after of physical motion actually numbered. The "matter" of time, the endless motion of nature (especially the heavens), is real, not merely ideal or mathematical. The form of time is determined by the real relation of before and after, making time a real category, one of the modes of being. Time is the way of being whose being consists in becoming. The other philosophy of time influencing Damascius and Simplicius is the more "idealist" Neoplatonic one, which bases time on the soul. According to Plotinus, the number of motion is an applied number. Eternity is the life of mind (nous), and time is the life of the world-soul. Numbers exist in the realm of mind or being or ideal forms, the second hypostasis of Plotinus. When mind descends into body, constituting soul or the third hypostasis, the life of mind or eternity becomes an activity of soul or time. Time is a psychic measuring, corresponding to Augustine's definition of time as a disrensio animae. Simplicius, like other ancient and medieval commentators, aims not only at a scholarly reconstruction of Aristotle's "difficulties" but at a real solution to the philosophical problem of time. The commentator's new and original philosophy emerges during the exposition of Aristotle's text. Simplicius' thesis is that the reality of time is the present moment, or now, or point of time, which is endlessly repeated. However, this cannot be a correct commentary on Aristotle, for whom time is solidly based on real physical motion. Simplicius' view of time is more abstract since he overlooks the reality of motion. The central part of Meyer's book examines in detail the philosophy of time in the Greek text of the Corollarium. Simplicius' view is that time is in becoming, not in being or eternity. Time's being is in becoming, and the only being in becoming is the "now," which makes time the "now." Simplicius contrasts this with his more Platonic teacher, Damascius, for whom eternity, to aei, or the realm of being, contains a form of time, a supra-temporal whole-time, or time-number, or mathematical "time," the unenfolded structure of number, which, in turn, contains time or continual becoming. Simplicius replies in a more Aristotelian fashion, arguing that Damascius' region of the "always" or "ever" of time, or time as a whole, is entirely unnecessary. Time flows infinitely, an always-becoming, but this infinity of time is not an actual whole. Time flows into infinity, but there is no actual infinite or eternal whole, as personified by Damascius' Demiourgos. Simplicius' interpretation is part of the wider movement of thought in later antiquity when time as the number of motion is forgotten and replaced by a more abstract definition. The interest in these thinkers, Damascius and Simplicius, lies in their providing us with variants or subspecies of the two great masters, Plato and Aristotle. Meyer's learned work makes these obscure texts widely accessible, and his interpretations of the rich material are cautious and sound. The presentation is not [iir die Menge; and, it is sometimes not very clear just what Greek distinctions are being noted by certain G e r m a n distinctions. There are misprints in French, G e r m a n, and Greek. The work is a fine contribution to scholarship. PAUL J. W. MILLER

Even those who know nothing else o f Justinian know that he closed the Academy at Athens in a . d . 529—the very year that St Benedict had founded the monastery o f Monte Cassino.1 For those who like schematic boundaries between the ancient and medieval worlds, between the pagan past and the Christian future, here is a truly symbolic date.The romantic sequel is hardly less familiar:2 the seven out-of-work Platonists who left Athens for Persia, which under its new King Chosroes they had heard closely resembled the ideal state their master had written of. On their arrival, alas, they discovered that Chosroes, while amiable enough and genuinely interested in philo­ sophy, was far from being the philosopher-king they had dreamed of. And his subjects were no less corrupt than the Romans. The disillusioned philosophers confessed their disappointment to the king, who not only graciously consented to their immediate return, but even went so far as to make Justinian write into the peace treaty they were just then concluding (September 532) a safe conduct home for all seven and a guarantee that they would be allowed to live out their lives in Roman territory in peace as pagans.This much is well known. But some details are unclear, others unexplored. Several misconceptions prevail. A number of relevant texts have never been properly exploited, some not even considered. What was Justinian’s motive? Did he give the last push to a tottering edifice, or destroy a thriving intellectual centre? Indeed, did he actually succeed in destroying anything at all? What did the philosophers do on their return? [Introduction, p. 7]

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]

The critical text of the first four books of Simplicius’ commentary on the Physics, which was published by Diels in Berlin in 1882 and serves as the foundation for the text of many fragments of the Presocratics, was based on collations by Vitelli of three manuscripts (DEF) and of a fragment of Book I in a copy made by the scribe of E, which Diels refers to as Ea. Besides these, Diels lists a considerable number of later manuscripts, which I have examined and found justifiably ignored in his critical apparatus. The total number of manuscripts listed by Diels of some part of Books I-VIII is 44; a further 25 not mentioned by Diels are listed in A. Wartelle’s "Inventaire des manuscrits grecs d’Aristote et de ses commentateurs" (Belles Lettres, 1963). I shall argue that Diels seriously underrated both the value of F and the probability of contamination between his manuscripts, and consequently, his text of some fragments of the Presocratics rests on a false foundation. However, it should be said at the outset that Diels’s understanding of Presocratic thought prevented him from going far wrong in the readings he adopted and printed. [Introduction, p. 70]

Is the homonym-synonym paradox important enough to force this emen­dation? I think that it is.  If considering the two definitions in conjunction -the definition of homonyms and that of synonyms - it turns out that homo­nyms qua homonyms are not homonyms and, therefore,  that only qua not homonyms are homonyms homonyms, that is a  problem. We can resolve the paradox by breaking the conjunction - i. e., by severing the interdepen­dence between the two definitions by eliminating tas ouisas from the first. Would Aristotle have anticipated the paradox and set out his definitions so as to  avoid it? We do not have to  go so far. We need only believe that, when initially conceiving Cat. i, he had a consistent set of ideas in  mind. That is, we need only believe that he had in mind a position that would not lead to  the type of problems that typically arise when two definitions are interdependent. [Author's abstract]

This paper makes no attempt to compete with the brilliant studies 
through  which  in  the last thirty years several scholars have ad- 
vanced  our understanding of  the  evidence for Zeno of Elea and 
in  particular of  the  verbatim preserved fragments. In fact my  in- 
tention  is  not  to  replace theories by other  theories  but to create 
doubt about matters that  for some time have been taken for granted 
and  to  change  confident  assumptions  into  hypotheses  that  would 
tolerate  others  besides  them. [p. 116]

In  Neoplatonism,  though  not  in  Aristotelian ism,  Plato  and  Aristotle  are 
transformed  in  a  variety  of  different  ways.  The  transformation  is  partly 
driven  by  a  wish  to  harmonize  Plato  and  Aristotle,  but  only  partly.  There 
is  less  effort  to  harmonize  the  two  in  some  commentators  than  in  others, 
and  on  some  issues,  we  shall  see,  there  is  less  harmonization  among  our 
commentators  than  there  was  in  the  Middle  Platonism  of  an  earlier  period. 
Further,  the  transformation  of  views  is  driven  by  other  factors  too  besides 
harmonization. [p. 185]

By 'in a subject' I mean what (a) is in something, not as a part, and (b) cannot 
exist separately from what it is in. (Aristotle, Categories la24-5) 
These lines have been extensively discussed in recent years. [...] The task I've set for myself in this paper is not to argue for either the weak 
or the strong interpretation of inherence in Aristotle. That is already a 
well-tr;odden path. Instead I shall look at what the ancient commentators on Aristotle had to say on the subject. Which interpretation, the strong or the 
weak, do they support? My strategy is to focus on one of the many problems 
they consider, that of fragrance, and to see if their treatment of it yields an 
answer. [pp. 290 f.]
