Sten Ebbesen has contributed many works in the field of ancient and
medieval philosophy over many decades of dedicated research. His
style is crisp and lucid and his philosophical penetration and
exposition of often difficult concepts and issues is both clear and
intellectually impressive. Ashgate is proud to present this three
volume set of his collected essays, all of them thoroughly revised
and updated. Each volume is thematically arranged. Volume One:
Greek-Latin Philosophical Interaction explores issues of relevance
to the history of logic and semantics, and in particular
connections and/or differences between Greek and Latin theory and
scholarly procedures, with special emphasis on late antiquity and
the Middle Ages.

three volume set of his collected essays, each thoroughly revised

-14th Centuries explores issues in medieval philosophy from the
time nominalists and other schools competed in twelfth-century
Paris to the mature scholasticism of Boethius of Dacia, Radulphus
Brito and other 'modist' thinkers of the late thirteenth century
and, finally, the new nominalism of John Buridan in the fourteenth
century.

Priscian of Lydia was one of the Athenian philosophers who took
refuge in 531 AD with King Khosroes I of Persia, after the
Christian Emperor Justinian stopped the teaching of the pagan
Neoplatonist school in Athens. This was one of the earliest
examples of the sixth-century diffusion of the philosophy of the
commentators to other cultures. Tantalisingly, Priscian fully
recorded in Greek the answers provided by the Athenian philosophers
to the king's questions on philosophy and science. But these
answers survive only in a later Latin translation which understood
both the Greek and the subject matter very poorly. Our translators
have often had to reconstruct from the Latin what the Greek would
have been, in order to recover the original sense. The answers
start with subjects close to the Athenians' hearts: the human soul,
on which Priscian was an expert, and sleep and visions. But their
interest may have diminished when the king sought their expertise
on matters of physical science: the seasons, celestial zones,
medical effects of heat and cold, the tides, displacement of the
four elements, the effect of regions on living things, why only
reptiles are poisonous, and winds. At any rate, in 532 AD, they
moved on from the palace, but still under Khosroes' protection.
This is the first translation of the record they left into English
or any modern language. This English translation is accompanied by
an introduction and comprehensive commentary notes, which clarify
and discuss the meaning and implications of the original
philosophy. Part of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series,
the edition makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern
readership and includes additional scholarly apparatus such as a
bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a subject index.

In the terminology of the medieval faculties of arts a sophisma was
a proposition that produced problems for logic or grammar because,
apparently, it could be shown to be both true and false or both
grammatically correct and incorrect. Analysis of sophismata played
a major role in university teaching, and a rich literature
reflecting this practice is still preserved. This catalogue offers
the first ever opportunity to orient oneself in the jungle of
13th-century texts on sophismata, edited and unedited alike. It
lists and describes every single collection, but also, importantly,
in an alphabetical catalogue of sophismatic propositions, under
each lists every occurrence of it in the corpus, with information
about where each occurrence is found in manuscripts or editions,
the syncategoreme to which it belongs, the kind of analysis it
displays, what is the solution offered, and which questions, if
any, receive special attention in quaestiones/problemata, an
incipit and an explicit where there is no edition available, and
finally, what secondary literature there is, if any. Some 3.000
entries make up the body of the catalogue, which is completed by
extensive indices by topics and by logical tools used in the
solutions, offering scholars a multiplicity of ways to find exactly
the information they are looking for.
