Opis

A full study of the surviving evidence for Xenarchus of Seleucia, one of the earliest interpreters of Aristotle.

Recenzje

'Xenarchus of Seleucia was a contemporary of Strabo who was active as a teacher of philosophy in Alexandria, Athens and Rome at the time of Augustus. Falcon's study is the first monograph to be wholly dedicated to this Peripatetic writer, from whom a few fragments survive … a valuable tool for the study of a period of philosophical activity that is still surrounded by mystery, and contributes to the better understanding of the hermeneutical strategies towards Aristotle's text that preceded the development of the commentary tradition in the Imperial period.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review
