    Summary note
    "In 1879 the young German scholar Hermann Diels published his Doxographi Graeci in which the major doxographical works of antiquity are collected and analysed. Diels' results have been foundational for the study of ancient philosophy ever since." "In their ground-breaking study the authors focus on the doxographer Aetius, whose work Diels reconstructed from various later sources. First they examine the antecedents of Diel's Aetian hypothesis. Then Diel's theory and especially the philological techniques used in its formulation are subjected to detailed analysis. The remainder of the volume offers a fresh examination of the sources for our knowledge of Aetius. Diel's theory is revised and improved at significant points." --Book Jacket.
    Notes
    Volume 2, part 2 includes, along with extensive commentary, the reconstructed Greek text (with parallel English translation) of Book 2 of the Placita philosophorum, also known as the Compendium (Greek title: Peri tōn areskontōn philosophois physikōn dogmatōn). Hermann Diels used the name Aëtius to identify the author of this work.
