Heraclitea

Viac o knihe

This volume contains over 375 texts with testimonia on Heraclitus and his teachings, along with quotations from his works, spanning from the 6th to the 14th century AD. It focuses on the Medieval period of transmission, featuring contributions from figures such as Maximus the Confessor to Petrarch. The book is structured into 84 chapters, each dedicated to a witness or a group of anonymous witnesses, and includes significant sections on John Tzetzes, the Suda, Eustathius, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, Sigerus de Brabantia, and Petrarch. The volume concludes with comprehensive indexes for the entire series, including a table of contents, an alphabetical index of sources, and a concordance with various critical editions. Each text is meticulously organized into five structural components: internal and external numbering, detailed references (author, title, chapter, etc.), the original text in Greek or Latin, a French translation, and three critical apparatuses. These apparatuses provide cross-references to indirect witnesses and parallel texts, previous editions of Heraclitus, manuscript variants, and modern scholarly conjectures. This thorough compilation serves as an essential resource for understanding Heraclitus's influence throughout history.
