Simplicius: on Aristotle on the heavens 1.2-3
No full textOne of the arguments in Aristotles On the Heavens propounds that the world neither came to be nor will perish. This volume contains the pagan Neoplatonist Simplicius of Cilicias commentary on the first part of this this important work. The commentary is notable and unusual because Simplicius includes in his discussion lengthy representations of the Christian John Philoponus criticisms of Aristotle along with his own, frequently sarcastic, responses. This is the first complete translation into a modern language of Simplicius commentary, and is accompanied by a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography
Simplicius: on Aristotle on the heavens 1.3-4
No full textThis is the first English translation of Simplicius responses to Philoponus Against Aristotle on the Eternity of the World. The commentary is published in two volumes: Ian Muellers previous book in the series, Simplicius: On Aristotle On the Heavens 1.2-3, and this book on 1.3-4. Philoponus, the Christian, had argued that Aristotles arguments do not succeed. For all they show to the contrary, Christianity may be right that the heavens were brought into existence by the only divine being and one moment in time, and will cease to exist at some future moment. Simplicius upholds the pagan view that the heavens are eternal and divine, and argues that their eternity is shown by their astronomical movements coupled with certain principles of Aristotle. The English translation in this volume is accompanied by a detailed introduction, extensive commentary notes and a bibliography

No full textContient : Commentaire à Physique IV (incomplet) ; Commentaire à Physique IV (2 extraits)Numérisation effectuée à partir d'un document de substitution.Manuscrit provenant de la collection de Colbert, où il portait la cote 1835 inscrite dans la marge supérieure du f. 1r. Le manuscrit avait peut-être appartenu à la collection constituée dans la seconde moitié du seizième siècle par Jean-Jacques De Mesmes et son fils Henri De Mesmes ; un exemplaire in-folio du commentaire de Simplicius à la Physique d'Aristote est en effet attesté dans cette collection (B. de Montfaucon, Bibliotheca bibliothecarum manuscriptorum nova, t. II, 1739, p. 1326, col. 1, C). Les manuscrits De Mesmes ont rejoint la bibliothèque colbertine en 1679 par don de leur héritière, la Duchesse de Vivonne. Après la mort de Colbert en 1683, ses livres passent successivement à deux de ses fils, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, marquis de Seignelay, mort en 1690, puis l'archevêque de Rouen, Jacques-Nicolas Colbert, mort en 1707 ; celui-ci lègue la collection au fils du marquis de Seignelay, l'abbé Charles-Éléonor Colbert, qui, malgré les dispositions du testament de son oncle, entreprend de disperser la bibliothèque colbertine : les imprimés sont vendus en 1728 et des négociations commencent la même année en vue de l'acquisition des manuscrits par le roi ; en février 1732, aucun accord n'ayant été trouvé sur la valeur de la collection, Charles-Éléonor Colbert finit par l'offrir au roi en comptant sur sa générosité et obtient une compensation de 300 000 livres. Les manuscrits sont portés à la librairie royale les 11 et 12 septembre 1732
Simplicius: on Aristotle physics 1.3-4
No full textIn this volume Simplicius deals with Aristotle's account of the Presocratics, and for many of them he is our chief or even sole authority. He quotes at length from Melissus, Parmenides and Zeno, sometimes from their original works but also from later writers from Plato onwards, drawing particularly on Alexander's lost commentary on Aristotle's Physics and on Porphyry. Much of his approach is just scholarly, but in places he reveals his Neoplatonist affiliation and attempts to show the basic agreement among his predecessors in spite of their apparent differences. This volume, part of the groundbreaking Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, translates into English for the first time Simplicius' commentary, and includes a detailed introduction, extensive explanatory notes and a bibliography
Simplicius on the planets and their motions : in defense of a heresy /
No full textThough the digression closing Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's 'De caelo' 2.12 has long been misread as a history of early Greek planetary theory, it is in fact a creative reading of Aristotle to maintain the authority of the 'De caelo' as a sacred text in Late Platonism and to refute the polemic mounted by the Christian, John Philoponus. This book shows that the critical question forced on Simplicius was whether his school's acceptance of Ptolemy's planetary hypotheses entailed a rejection of Aristotle's argument that the heavens are made of a special matter that moves by nature in a circle about the center of the cosmos and, thus, a repudiation of the thesis that the cosmos is uncreated and everlasting.Though the digression closing Simplicius' commentary on Aristotle's 'De caelo' 2.12 has long been misread as a history of early Greek planetary theory, it is in fact a creative reading of Aristotle to maintain the authority of the 'De caelo' as a sacred text in Late Platonism and to refute the polemic mounted by the Christian, John Philoponus.
