Priscian: "On Theophrastus on sense-perception" with 'Simplicius': "On Aristotle on the soul 2.5-12"

"Simplicius and Priscian were two of the seven Neoplatonists who left Athens when the Christian Emperor Justinian closed the paganschool there in A.D. 529. The commentaries ascribed to them on works on sense-perception, one by Aristotle and one by his successor Theophrastus, are translated here in this single volume. Both commentaries give a highly Neoplatonic reading to their Aristotelian subjects and tell us much about late Neoplatonist psychology. This volume is also designed to enable readers to assess a recent major controversy: it has been argued by Carlos Steel and Fernand Bossier that the commentary ascribed to Simplicius is in fact by Priscian, and their article, hitherto only available in Dutch, is here published in revised form and in English for the first time. This book therefore contains all the evidence necessary for readers to judge this intriguing question for themselves."--Bloomsbury Publishing MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict MuPDF error: syntax error: invalid key in dict Cover 1 Contents 6 Preface Richard Sorabji 8 Priscian: On Theophrastus on Sense-Perception Translation by Pamela Huby 10 Introduction 12 Bibliography 14 Textual Emendations 16 Translation 18 Notes 58 English-Greek Glossary 80 A 80 B 81 C 81 D 82 E 83 F 83 G 84 H 84 I 84 J 85 K 85 L 85 M 85 N 86 O 86 P 86 Q 87 R 87 S 87 T 89 U 89 V 89 W 90 Greek-English Index 91 A 91 B 94 D 94 E 95 G 97 H 98 I 99 K 99 L 101 M 101 N 102 O 102 P 103 R 105 S 105 T 106 Z 107 Index of Passages 108 Simplicius’: On Aristotle On the Soul 2.5-12 Introduction and translation by Carlos Steel Notes by Peter Lautner 112 Introduction 114 Textual Emendations 150 Translation 152 Notes 222 English-Greek Glossary 239 A 239 B 239 C 239 D 239 E 239 F 240 G 240 H 240 I 240 J 240 K 240 L 240 M 240 N 240 O 240 P 240 Q 241 R 241 S 241 T 242 U 242 V 242 W 242 Greek-English Index 243 A 243 B 247 D 248 E 249 G 253 H 253 I 256 K 256 L 258 M 258 N 259 O 260 P 261 R 264 S 264 T 267 X 267 Z 268 Index of Names and Subjects 269 A 269 C 269 D 269 E 269 F 269 H 269 I 269 J 269 K 269 L 269 O 269 P 270 R 270 S 270 T 270 V 270 W 270 Simplicius and Priscian were two of the seven Neoplatonists who left Athens when the Christian Emperor Justinian closed the pagan school there in AD 529.
