Publisher Description:
The no longer extant commentary by Alexander of Aphrodisias (approx. 200 AD) on Aristotle's Physics is one of the most important works of antiquity ?, as a source text having influenced both the Greek commentators on Aristotle and ? through the mediation of Arab scholars? Western medieval philosophy. This volume presents the first edition and study of nearly 700 recently discovered Byzantine scholia, which allow a more exact reconstruction of Alexander's teachings on physics, and at the same time contribute to a better understanding of Aristotelianism and preclassical physics.
