Heraclitea

Meer over het boek

This volume features over 300 texts, including testimonia and quotations on Heraclitus, dating from the 3rd to 7th centuries AD, with contributions from figures like Iamblichus, Stobaeus, Simplicius, and Philoponus. It represents the third part of Traditio (A), focusing on references to Heraclitus from Plotinus in the 3rd century to Stephanus of Alexandria in the early 7th century. Spanning 216 pages, the book is organized into 49 chapters, each dedicated to individual witnesses or groups of anonymous ones. Key chapters highlight contributions from Plotinus, Iamblichus, Themistius, Calcidius, Stobaeus (40 texts), Eusebius, Theodoretus, Proclus, Simplicius (31 texts), Philoponus (22 texts), Asclepius, Olympiodorus, and Stephanus. Each text is structured into five components: internal and external numbering; detailed references (author, title, chapter, etc.); the original text in Greek, Latin, or Armenian; a French translation; and three critical apparatuses, which include cross-references to indirect witnesses, previous editions, and manuscript variants alongside modern scholarly conjectures.
