David Gallop provides a Greek text and a new facing-page
translation of the extant fragments of Parmenides' philosophical
poem. He also includes the first complete translation into English
of the contexts in which the fragments have been transmitted to us,
and of the ancient testimonia regarding Parmenides' life and
thought. All of the fragments have been translated in full and are
arranged in the order that has become canonical since the
publication of the fifth edition of Diels-Rranz's Die Fragmente der
Vorsokratiker. Alternative renderings are provided for passages
whose meaning is disputed or where major questions of
interpretation hinge upon the text or translation adopted.
In an extended introductory essay, Gallop offers guidance on the
background of the poem, and a continuous exposition of it, together
with a critical discussion of its basic argument. The volume also
includes an extensive bibliography, a glossary of key terms in the
poem, and a section on sources and authorities.
