Aristoteles-Kommentare Und Ihre Überlieferung - Christian Brockmann - Bog

From antiquity and late antiquity to the Middle Ages and modern times, commentary on Aristotle's writings has been one of the fundamental forms of philosophical activity. This anthology uses selected examples to analyse and interpret key stages of the Greek commentary tradition on Aristotle's writings and their philosophical and cultural-historical significance. The authors analyse both the manuscripts and the transmission of individual writings as well as the reception and further development of Aristotle's philosophy.
The core of the contributions collected here are based on the three-day international conference "Aristotle's Commentaries and their Transmission in Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance" (26-28 October 2017), which took place at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg thanks to the support of the Karl and Gertrud Abel Foundation.
