Philodem, Geschichte der Akademie: Einführung, Ausgabe, Kommentar

Philodemus’ History of the Academy represents a valuable treatise on Greek philosophical schools containing much unique information on Plato and on the development of the Academy under his successors. The so called Index Academicorum is a draft version preserved in a Herculaneum papyrus, which has been reread and reedited on the basis of innovative papyrological criteria and pioneering imaging techniques. The text is now very different from former editions and reveals countless new facts on various Academic philosophers. The edition and the commentary provide new insights of interdisciplinary relevance into ancient philosophy, biography, literature and the ancient process of writing a book.Publication funding from erc Advanced Grant 885222-GreekSchools: The Greek philosophical schools according to Europe's earliest 'History of Philosophy': Towards a new pioneering critical edition of Philodemus' Arrangement of the Philosophers (European Commission, Horizon 2020, Excellent Science), https://greekschools.eu/ The Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data is available online at https://catalog.loc.govlc record available at https://lccn.loc.gov/202301346
