The first volumes in the series focused on Aristotle’s successor Theophrastus. Starting with volume IX the focus switched to other members of what Fritz Wehrli called The School of Aristotle. Volumes IX–XVI dealt with Demetrius of Phalerum, Dicaearchus of Messana, Eudemus of Rhodes, Lyco of Troas, Hieronymus of Rhodes, Aristo of Ceos, Heraclides of Pontus and Strato of Lampsacus. The present volume XVII is devoted to essays discussing Aristoxenus of Tarentum, whom the Suda reports was bitterly disappointed to have been passed over as Aristotle’s suc- cessor in favor of Theophrastus. Aristoxenus was most famous in antiquity as a music theorist, and the first six essays in the present volume focus on that aspect of his work. Aristoxenus, however, had a vast output, some 453 volumes according to the Suda, and he was also very famous in antiquity as a biographer. Chapters 7–10 are devoted to Aristoxenus’ work as a biographer. Finally, chapter 11 deals with Aris- toxenus’ philosophy of music in the context of the early Academy. The volume makes no attempt to cover all aspects of Aristoxenus’ work and instead addresses the two areas for which he was most famous, vii viii Preface music theory and biography. While there has been much good schol- arship in the former area in recent years, to which the present essays contribute, the latter area has been relatively neglected and the pres- ent volume serves in part to remedy that neglect. Unlike some other volumes in the RUSCH series there is no new edition of the fragments of Aristoxenus with translations included here. I am in the process of carrying out such an edition, which will appear in due course. All of the chapters in this volume, except chapter 1, were origi- nally presented at a conference held at DePauw University in Septem- ber 2009. I was responsible for the organization of the conference but benefitted considerably from the advice of Professors William Forten- baugh and David Mirhady. My wife, Professor Martha Rainbolt, provided invaluable assistance both in making many of the practical arrangements for the conference in advance and in making sure that everything went smoothly during the conference itself. I want to thank DePauw University, and in particular the then Academic Vice Presi- dent, Neal Abraham, for providing generous financial support for the conference. I would also like to thank Professor William Fortenbaugh and Project Theophrastus for a grant that covered additional expenses. I would like to thank all the participants in the conference for making it a success and, in particular, Professor Alexander P. D. Mourelatos, who read John Dillon’s paper, when he was not able to attend. All of us were saddened at the passing of Professor Steve Strange, who was to have given a paper on Aristoxenus’ psychology at the conference. He was a great scholar and a dear friend and will be sorely missed. I have been responsible for editing all the papers in the volume but would again like to thank Professors William Fortenbaugh and David Mirhady for valuable advice. Finally, I would like to thank Professor Martha Rainbolt for reading every chapter and catching many errors that I had missed as well as for compiling the bibliography. Any mis- takes that remain are, of course, my own responsibility. Professor Robert Sharples, who was one of the founders of Proj- ect Theophrastus, the project to which these volumes owe their ori- gin, was unable to attend the conference at DePauw and passed away not long afterwards. Professor William Fortenbaugh has provided a remembrance of Professor Sharples below.

[email protected] Grace and Bob Sharples Remembering Robert William Sharples (1949–2010) William W. Fortenbaugh December 1, 2010 Robert William Sharples, known to his friends as Bob, was a world- class scholar with whom I collaborated for some thirty years. There is much that might be reported — all kinds of professional and personal experiences, some serious, some funny — but in this brief remem- brance my focus, at least at the beginning, will be on Bob’s involvement in three quite special projects. Each concerns Peripatetic philosophy at the close of the classical period and the beginning of the Hellenistic age — an exciting time in the history of ancient philosophy and one which Bob interpreted with extraordinary enthusiasm and insight. The first project is often referred to as Project Theophrastus. Its goal has been to collect, edit, translate and comment on the fragments of Theophrastus of Eresus, Aristotle’s pupil and second head of the Peripatetic School. Although several works of Theophrastus survive intact, the vast majority have been lost. We know of them

  • New Evidence on the Death of Philo of Larissa (Pherc
    New evidence on the death of Philo of Larissa (PHerc. 1021, col. 33,42 -34,7) 1. Introduction Philo of Larissa (159/58 or ca. 147 -84/83) was the last distinguished representative of the so-called sceptical Academy.1 He succeeded Clitomachus as scholarch in 110/09 BC and fled from Athens to Italy on the eve of the Mithridatic War and Sulla’s siege of Athens (88 BC). In Italy, Philo lectured on philosophy and attracted a lot of young noblemen, amongst them Cicero.2 A lot of valuable information about Philo’s life can be found exclusively in the final columns of Philodemus’ Index Academicorum (PHerc. 1021, col. 33,34). Although several improvements that could be made to the text since Dorandi’s edition (1991) have been published,3 a fragmentary passage between the report of Philo’s death and the mention of a person who obviously succeeded or deputised him during his absence continues to represent a puzzle to scholars (col. 33, 44 –col. 34,2). This is all the more regrettable if we take into consideration that the content of these lines could have a significant impact on the suggested supplements in the surrounding context and the whole syntax. In any case, the lines seem to contain a pivotal statement about either Philo or another Academic. * I am grateful to Tobias Reinhardt, Tiziano Dorandi, Holger Essler and Myrto Hatzimichali for valuable comments and suggestions. Furthermore I would like to thank Dirk Obbink for giving me the opportunity to discuss this paper in his Literary Papyrology class (Trinity term 2016, Oxford).

  • (Getting Rid of the «Presocratics»), In: Philosophy in the Dialogue of Cultures
    Andrei V. Lebedev, Izbavliaias’ ot «dosokratikov» (Getting rid of the «Presocratics»), in: Philosophy in the dialogue of cultures. Materials of the World Philosophy Day (Moscow - St. Petersburg, November 16 -19, 2009), p. 177 - 183 (in Russian). Translated into English by the author. This paper was delivered in the Institute of philosophy of the Russian Academy of sciences at the Round Table «Getting rid of stereotypes in the history of philosophy». Some explanatory remarks that have been added in the English translation are placed in square brackets. In 1903 the Weidmann Publishing House in Berlin published the first edition of Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker by the distinguished German classical scholar Hermann Diels which still remains the most complete single edition of the fragments of the Early Greek philosophers (of the VI - V centuries B.C.). In the first edition it started with Thales and ended with «Anhang» that contained pre-philosophical tradition (cosmogonic poetry and prose, the sayings of the Seven Sages) as well as the fragments of the Sophists. After Diels’s death (1922) his disciple Walter Kranz in the last 5th edition (1934) gave it its present structure by dividing the whole text into three parts: A) Anfänge (pre-philosophical tradition), B) Fragments of the Greek Philosophers of the 6th and 5th centuries and their immediate followers and C) Sophists. There are all in all 90 chapters, in which about 400 names are mentioned, of which 235 derive from Jamblichus’ Catalogue of Pythagoreans. Diels himself explained in the preface to the first edition that he included in his collection also some mathematicians and a selection of non-Hippocratic doctors.

  • Theophrastus and His World by Paul Millett Cambridge Classical Journal: Proceedings of the Cambridge Philolog- Ical Society, Supplementary Volume 33
    Theophrastus and His World by Paul Millett Cambridge Classical Journal: Proceedings of the Cambridge Philolog- ical Society, Supplementary Volume 33. Cambridge: The Cambridge Philological Society, 2007. Pp. x + 188. ISBN 978--0--906014--32--5. Cloth $90.00 Reviewed by Ivo Volt1 University of Tartu, Estonia [email protected] The relative thinness of this book is deceptive, as the amount of information it offers is enormous. The 117 pages of main text are supplemented by 41 small-print pages of endnotes, altogether 314 of them, offering innumerable details from textual remarks to biblio- graphical data and, of course, various suggestions and interpretations. This makes the reading of the whole ‘essay’ (as the author himself repeatedly calls his book) quite an enterprise even for someone who is fairly well acquainted with scholarship on Theophrastus. From the title of the book, readers might expect a broad study on Theophrastus and his scholarly contribution, including the field for which he is most famous, viz. botany.

    Philologus 2019; 163(1): 72–94 Leonid Zhmud* What is Pythagorean in the Pseudo-Pythagorean Literature? https://doi.org/10.1515/phil-2018-0003 Abstract: This paper discusses continuity between ancient Pythagoreanism and the pseudo-Pythagorean writings, which began to appear after the end of the Pythagorean school ca. 350 BC. Relying on a combination of temporal, formal and substantial criteria, I divide Pseudopythagorica into three categories: 1) early Hellenistic writings (late fourth – late second centuries BC) ascribed to Pytha- goras and his family members; 2) philosophical treatises written mostly, yet not exclusively, in pseudo-Doric from the turn of the first century BC under the names of real or fictional Pythagoreans; 3) writings attributed to Pythagoras and his relatives that continued to appear in the late Hellenistic and Imperial periods. I will argue that all three categories of pseudepigrapha contain astonishingly little that is authentically Pythagorean. Keywords: Pythagoreanism, pseudo-Pythagorean writings, Platonism, Aristote- lianism Forgery has been widespread in time and place and varied in its goals and methods, and it can easily be confused with superficially similar activities. A. Grafton Note: An earlier version of this article was presented at the colloquium “Pseudopythagorica: stratégies du faire croire dans la philosophie antique” (Paris, 28 May 2015). I would like to thank Constantinos Macris (CNRS) for his kind invitation. The final version was written during my fellowship at the IAS of Durham University and presented at the B Club, Cambridge, in Mai 2016. I am grateful to Gábor Betegh for inviting me to give a talk and to the audience for the vivid discussion.

  • Theophrastus and His World by Paul Millett Cambridge Classical Journal: Proceedings of the Cambridge Philolog- Ical Society, Supplementary Volume 33
    Theophrastus and His World by Paul Millett Cambridge Classical Journal: Proceedings of the Cambridge Philolog- ical Society, Supplementary Volume 33. Cambridge: The Cambridge Philological Society, 2007. Pp. x + 188. ISBN 978--0--906014--32--5. Cloth $90.00 Reviewed by Ivo Volt1 University of Tartu, Estonia [email protected] The relative thinness of this book is deceptive, as the amount of information it offers is enormous. The 117 pages of main text are supplemented by 41 small-print pages of endnotes, altogether 314 of them, offering innumerable details from textual remarks to biblio- graphical data and, of course, various suggestions and interpretations. This makes the reading of the whole ‘essay’ (as the author himself repeatedly calls his book) quite an enterprise even for someone who is fairly well acquainted with scholarship on Theophrastus. From the title of the book, readers might expect a broad study on Theophrastus and his scholarly contribution, including the field for which he is most famous, viz. botany. Thus, for those interested in the history of natural sciences, it could be disappointing to find out that the book is rather a full-length treatment of Theophrastus’ Characters, which, as the sleeve-note mentions, ‘aims to locate this influential work with respect to the political and philosophical worlds of Athens in the late fourth century’.
