Simplicius Completed

25/8/2022

 
Picture
We are delighted to announce the publication of two new volumes that complete our translations of all the commentaries of Simplicius, both by Stephen Menn. These volumes contain i) a translation of Simplicius on Aristotle Physics 1.1-2, and ii) a monograph-length introduction to the whole Physics commentary. These opening chapters are among the most complex in the commentary, because they lay the methodological and philosophical foundations for the entire work, as well as being a key source for quotations from Presocratic philosophers. The introduction covers the philosophical aims of Simplicius' commentaries on the Physics and the related text On the Heaven; Simplicius' methods and his use of earlier sources; and key themes and comparison with Philoponus' commentary on the same text. 

For the sake of completeness, here’s a list of the other volumes translating Simplicius' commentary on the Physics: 

  • On Aristotle Physics 1.3–4, tr. P. Huby and C. C. W. Taylor, 2011
