PREFACE T h is book has a lon g h isto ry.

I t w as begun as an in vestig ation of

th e passages in w hich P lu ta rc h speaks of A ristotle.

D eta ch ed from

their c o n te x t som e of these passages len t th em selves to d ifferen t inter pretatio n s and I found too th a t th e y w ere used as evid ence for qu ite d ifferen t opinions.

I t soon b ecam e ap p aren t th a t th e scattered fr a g ­

m ents of th e b io grap h ical trad itio n cou ld n o t b e fu lly understood and p rop erly in terp reted unless on th e basis of an exam in ation of all the m aterial.

T h e aim of th is b o o k is to present th is m aterial and the

result of m y ex a m in a tio n of it and to trace th e d evelop m en t of the b io grap h ical trad itio n concerning A risto tle ’s life and w ritings. P a r t I contain s critical edition s of all an cien t V ita e A ristotelis, based on fresh collations of all m an u scrip ts k now n to me.

T o th e v e r y last

I hoped to find another m anu scrip t of th e V ita M arciana, now preserved o n ly in M arcianus 257, w hich is to d a y alm ost indecipherable, b u t m y hope failed.

T h e edition s of th e V ita e pose problem s w hich I h a ve

set forth in the introductions.

T o each te x t I h ave added testim ouia,

a running com m en tary, and a short ch ap ter w ith a general evalu ation In this p a rt of th e b o o k I h a v e also included a b rief su rv e y of some of the la te m ed ieval V itae . P a rt I I con tain s a su rv e y of th e S y ria c and A ra b ic trad itio n .

My

chief o b je c t has been to p resen t read ab le tran slation s of th e m ost im p o rta n t V ita e A ristotelis and to discuss th e problem s raised b y these te x ts.

T h is m aterial has b een h ard to deal w ith for a non-

orien talist, and it w ould h a v e been im possible for m e to g iv e an ac cou n t of it, had I n o t received k in d an d generous assistance from m y orien talist colleagues, Professors O scar L öfgren and B ern h ard L ew in, G ö teb o rg U n iv e rsity , and D r. R ich a rd W alzer, O xford U n iv ersity .

I

w ish to em phasize, how ever, th a t I am alone responsible fo r all sh o rt­ com ings in th is chap ter. P a rt I I I con tain s a b o u t four hundred passages from ancien t and m ed ieval w riters, selected from arranged

accord in g

to

a large collection of excerpts and

su b ject-m atter.

I

h ave

experim ented

s

INGEMAR DÜRING

several ty p e s of arran gem en t an d fin a lly decided upon the one chosen here.

T h is arrangem ent of th e m aterial in e v ita b ly leads to certain

repetition s for w h ich I a sk th e rea d er’s indulgence.

I hope th a t the

freq u en t cross-references and th e In d e x testim on iorum w ill help the reader to find w h a t he w a n ts to find. In m ost cases each passage or clu ster of passages is p rovid ed w ith a com m en tary.

In m y com m en ts and in terp reta tio n s I h a v e follow ed

the sim ple m ethod applied in e v e ry c ritic a l trea tm en t of sources and authorities.

E a c h sta te m en t has firs t been exam ined sep a ra tely, w ith

due consideration g iv en to te x tu a l problem s, lan gu age, co n tex t, m ode of transm ission, th e w rite r’s p e rso n a lity (if k now n ), tim e and tendency, and so forth. I t has th en b een com pared w ith related te x ts and fu rth er an alysed and in terp reted w ith th e u ltim a te aim of fin d in g ou t as m uch as possible a b ou t tren d s and ten d en cy in th a t branch of th e b io grap h ical trad itio n to w hich th e passage belongs.

C ertain fa cts recorded in the

b io grap h ical trad itio n are of such a n atu re th a t w e can n ever p rove w hether th e y are tru e or not. B u t w e m a y a d va n ce a step nearer the tru th if w e can p ro v e th a t th e au th or (or his source) is biassed and fin d ou t som ething a b o u t his prejudices or ten d en cy. In m ost cases it is possible to evin ce th a t he follow s a certain trad itio n w hose general ch aracter w e are able to determ ine. H ow ever, e v e ry b o d y fam iliar w ith the an cien t b io grap h ical tra d itio n know s th a t th e m aterial is fragile and often open to d ifferen t in terp retation s.

I h a v e h o n estly tried to

m ake a clear d istin ction b etw een fa cts and h ypotheses and le ft m an y questions open w ith a non liquet.

B u t I am fu lly aw are how com ­

p licated and d ifficu lt th e problem s are and how e v a s iv e th e tr u th is. T he reader w ill find th a t m y conclusions are often q u alified b y an ad dition al “ p ro b a b ly ” or su b ject to oth er reservations. I t is m y hop e th a t th e editions of th e V ita e A risto telis togeth er w ith th e large collection of testim o n ia w ill p ro v e useful as a source book for th e
