Aristotle's "On Interpretation," the centrepiece of his logic,
examines the relationship between conflicting pairs of statements.
The first eight chapters, analysed in this volume, explain what
statements are, starting from their basic components - the words -
and working up to the character of opposed affirmations and
negations. Ammonius, who in his capacity as Professor at Alexandria
from around AD 470 taught almost all the great sixth-century
commentators, left just this one commentary in his own name,
although his lectures on other works of Aristotle have been written
up by his pupils, who included Philoponus and Asclepius. His ideas
on Aristotle's "On Interpretation "were derived from his own
teacher, Proclus, and partly from the great lost commentary of
Porphyry. The two most important extant commentaries on "On
Interpretation," of which this is one (the other being by Boethius)
both draw on Porphyry's work, which can be to some extent
reconstructed for them
