Aristotle, great Greek philosopher, researcher, reasoner, and
writer, born at Stagirus in 384 BCE, was the son of Nicomachus, a
physician, and Phaestis. He studied under Plato at Athens and
taught there (367 47); subsequently he spent three years at the
court of a former pupil, Hermeias, in Asia Minor and at this time
married Pythias, one of Hermeias s relations. After some time at
Mitylene, in 343 2 he was appointed by King Philip of Macedon to be
tutor of his teen-aged son Alexander. After Philip s death in 336,
Aristotle became head of his own school (of Peripatetics ), the
Lyceum at Athens. Because of anti-Macedonian feeling there after
Alexander s death in 323, he withdrew to Chalcis in Euboea, where
he died in 322. Nearly all the works Aristotle prepared for
publication are lost; the priceless ones extant are
lecture-materials, notes, and memoranda (some are spurious). They
can be categorized as follows: I. Practical: "Nicomachean Ethics";
"Great Ethics" ("Magna Moralia"); "Eudemian Ethics"; "Politics";
"Oeconomica" (on the good of the family); "Virtues and Vices."
II. Logical: "Categories"; "On Interpretation"; "Analytics"
("Prior" and "Posterior"); "On Sophistical Refutations";
"Topica."
III. Physical: Twenty-six works (some suspect) including
astronomy, generation and destruction, the senses, memory, sleep,
dreams, life, facts about animals, etc.
IV. "Metaphysics" on being as being.
V. On Art: "Art of Rhetoric" and "Poetics."
VI. Other works including the "Athenian Constitution"; more
works also of doubtful authorship.
VII. Fragments of various works such as dialogues on philosophy
and literature; and of treatises on rhetoric, politics and
metaphysics. The Loeb Classical Library(r) edition of Aristotle is
in twenty-three volumes.

"Life of Dante" brings together the earliest accounts of Dante
available, putting the celebratory essay of literary genius
Giovanni Boccaccio together with the historical analysis of leading
humanist Leonardo Bruni. Their writings, along with the other
sources included in this volume, provide a wealth of insight and
information into Dante's unique character and life, from his
susceptibility to the torments of passionate love, his involvement
in politics, scholastic enthusiasms and military experience, to the
stories behind the greatest heights of his poetic achievements.Not
only are these accounts invaluable for their subject matter, they
are also seminal examples of early biographical writing. Also
included in this volume is a biography of Boccaccio, perhaps as
great an influence on world literature as Dante himself.
