  • "The situation has changed radically during the last three decades, mostly thanks to Sorabji's projects. The huge corpus of the Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca is now intensively studied and the philosophy of the commentators is widely recognized as a crucial aspect of ancient thought" (Riccardo Chiaradonna and Marwan Rashed, Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy)
