About this ebook
This book offers a comprehensive study of the fragmentary remains of Aristotle‘s writings in the domains of history, zoology, and rhetorical and literary studies. It explores how these scattered texts were preserved, cited, adapted, and sometimes distorted across centuries of manuscript culture and scholarly reception. Drawing on philological analysis, manuscript evidence, and reception history, the book sheds new light on the processes that shaped our access to Aristotle’s intellectual legacy.
Established and invaluable editions of fragments by Rose, Jacoby and Gigon are ripe for methodological scrutiny and a new edition is currently underway. At this watershed, Aristotle in Fragments offers crucial methodological reflections and case studies of Aristotle‘s lost works. This study not only reconstructs aspects of Aristotle’s fragmentary and lost works, but also illuminates broader questions about authorship, authority, and the fragile continuity of knowledge in the classical tradition. It is of interest to classicists, historians, and philosophers alike.
