Between 1883 and 1909 a team of scholars led by Hermann Diels
produced 15,000 pages of edited text of commentaries on Aristotle
in Greek from the 2nd to the 13th Century AD. This volume is one of
three supplements to the collection.
Herman Alexander Diels (1848 1922) published Doxographi Graeci in
1879. In many ways this work established the critical discipline of
doxography - the editing, cataloguing, and analysing of extracts of
extant classical texts that contain references to the ideas and
arguments of lost authors and schools. In Doxographi Graeci Diels
analyses passages from the extant work of authors such as Plutarch,
Arius Didymus, Diogenes La rtius, Ps-Plutarch, Hippolytus,
Ps-Galen, Stobaeus, Theodoret and Eusebius and uses them to uncover
information about the Presocratic philosophers and schools whose
written treatises are no longer extant. Diels' method of filiation
of extant sources, based on the critical methods of his teacher,
Herman Karl Usener (1834 1905), allowed critical judgements to be
made regarding the reliability and usefulness of extant authors and
their references. Diels' magisterial work represented a profound
breakthrough in the study of the Presocratic philosophers. It is a
monument of classical scholarship.
