William L. Newman (1834 1923) published Volume 1 of Politics of
Aristotle in 1887. It was designed as an introductory volume to
accompany volumes 2 4 (1887 1902) which contain Newman's
reconstructed Greek text of the Politics with a commentary, notes
and essays. The essays in this volume link Aristotle's political
teaching to his philosophical system and metaphysical ideas,
discuss the relationship of Politics to Plato's political
treatises, and place Politics within the context of the wider
tradition of Greek literature. The volume focuses on books 1, 3, 4
and 5 of the Politics as these, Newman argues, contain the core of
Aristotle's political teaching. Newman, both as a scholar and
pedagogue, had a significant impact on nineteenth-century classical
studies. His four-volume edition of the Politics stands as a
monument of Victorian scholarship and will continue to be read and
studied by scholars and students of Aristotle.
William L. Newman (1834 1923) published Volume 2 of Politics of
Aristotle in 1887. It contains his reconstructed Greek text of
books 1-2 of the Politics, critical notes, commentary, an
introduction to the source manuscripts, and a discussion of the
Latin translation of William of Moerbeke. Newman's reconstructed
text is based on the edition of Susemihl (1872) and his own fresh
collations of a number of manuscripts. His cautious text, always
supported by extensive manuscript evidence, was widely regarded as
an improvement on Bekker's more conjectural 1837 version. Newman's
commentary was highly praised and has been used for over a century
by students of the Politics. As a scholar and a pedagogue, Newman
had a significant impact on nineteenth-century classical studies.
His edition of the Politics stands as a monument of Victorian
scholarship and will continue to be read and studied by scholars

William of Moerbeke's Latin translation. Newman's cautious text,
