In the latest issue of the TLS David Sedley describes the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project as "a truly breathtaking achievement, with few parallels in the history of scholarly endeavour" (D. Sedley, 'A ton for Aristotle', The Times Literary Supplement 5751 (21 June 2013), 7-8).

The latest issue of The Classical Review 63/1 (2013) contains reviews of three recent volumes in the ACA series:

• I. Mueller’s Simplicius, On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.3-4: “English readers owe [Mueller] a debt of gratitude” (M.-A. Gavray). DOI: 10.1017/S0009840X12002545
• S. Broadie’s Philoponus, On Aristotle Physics 4.10-14: “another fine contribution to a series which has been characterized at all times by deft scholarship and reliable translation” (M. J. Edwards). DOI: 10.1017/S0009840X12003459
• A. Smith’s Boethius, On Aristotle On Interpretation 4-6: “Smith and the ACA series have done a great service to students and non-specialists by making Boethius’ […] commentary available in this fine translation” (M. Fournier). DOI: 10.1017/S0009840X12003484

We are delighted to report that, just in time for last week's conference, the 98th, 99th, and 100th volumes appeared in print. The 100th volume ('Simplicius', On Aristotle On the Soul 3.6-13, translated by Carlos Steel, in collaboration with Arnis Ritups) was turned around with impressive speed by our new publisher Bloomsbury. Bloomsbury are now also making available previously out-of-print volumes in the series available again via print-on-demand.

A recent piece on The Telegraph website reporting on the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle conference has described it as "the most extraordinary feat of British scholarship ever".

Next week sees a four day international conference celebrating the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project reaching 100 volumes of translation. (The three outstanding should all appear next week!).

The festivities begin on Tuesday with a Graduate Reception with Richard Sorabji at King's College London, followed by the opening talk in the evening by Carlos Steel at Senate House in Bloomsbury. Wednesday sees a day of talks at Senate House (by Marwan Rashed, Stephen Menn, John Watt, Daniel King), followed by a reception at King's College London in the evening. On Thursday the conference remains at King's in the morning for talks by Jonathan Barnes and Peter Adamson, and then returns to Senate House in the afternoon for presentations by James Wilberding, Michael Griffin, and Riccardo Chiaradonna.

On Friday the conference moves to Wolfson College in Oxford. After an opening talk by Richard Sorabji, David Sedley and others will discuss the discovery of a new fragment of a commentary on Aristotle found in the famous Archimedes palimpsest. Further details of the Wolfson day here.

We are delighted to report that the just published ACA volume "Aeneas of Gaza, Theophrastus, Translated by J. Dillon and D. Russell, with Zacharias of Mytilene, Ammonius,  Translated by S. Gertz" has been named as one of the TLS Books of the Year.

A review of Richard McKirahan's Philoponus, On Aristotle Posterior Analytics 1.9-18 has been posted on BMCR: "this book is an important publication that will certainly help to make the work of Philoponus better known. The translation – the first ever into any modern language – makes the Greek text accessible to those with little or no Greek and will be an indispensable tool for students and scholars of ancient thought. The notes clarify many strange passages and provide valuable information about the tradition Philoponus is working in. Moreover, the book is well edited. Thus, there can be no doubt that many scholars and students will find the book highly useful." Full review here.
