Concordance with CAG

The principal task of the Ancient Commentators project has been to make available in English the ancient Greek commentaries on Aristotle published in the Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca [CAG] series, first published between 1882 and 1909, although it includes many related texts not in the CAG as well. The CAG volumes were first published by Reimer and are still available from de Gruyter. Many of the volumes are also now available online at archive.org. There is a helpful list of CAG volumes with links to digitized versions. 

The following list offers a concordance between the CAG and the relevant translation volumes, with commissioned volumes noted.
