Aristotle in the Greek Gnomological Tradition. - SEARBY, D.M.,

KORTE INHOUD

'My primary aim has been to make a systematic collection of all the known sayings linked with Aristotle in the Greek gnomological sources, a project that has not been previously attempted.' (p.11). The first four chapters introduce the collection. (...) PP.97-139 are devoted to the collection and edition of the maxims linked to Aristotle. The texts are not organized y theme, but according to the source in which they appear. (...) A translation and commentary on the individual sayings follow at pp.143-264. The translations are admirable, especially given the difficulty of rendering the more compressed and idiomatic gnomai. (...) Despite its shortcomings, S.'s book should be welcomed as a useful and learned collection of important material concerning the reception of Aristotle. 9BARABARA GRAZIOSI on the published version of the dissertation in The Classical Review (New Series), 1999, pp.437-439).
