Abstract

The ancient sources tell a particular story about the destiny of the works of Aristotle and Theophrastus after Theophrastus' death. According to information provided mainly by Strabo and Plutarch, the texts produced by the Peripatetic school were lost and unavailable during a period of more than two hundred years, from the time of Neleus, the heir of Theophrastus' library, until Sulla's victory in Athens, in 86 b.c., at the end of his campaign against Mithridates. That was the point at which the private library of a famous bibliophile was confiscated: Apellicon of Teos, who at some time at the beginning of the first century b.c. had acquired the autograph papyri that contained the only copies of Aristotle's and his disciple's works. Sulla, so these sources maintain, recovered then for later generations the so-called ‘esoteric writings’ of Aristotle, and this prepared the ground for the general diffusion of Aristotelian thought, and for the work of Andronicus of Rhodes, whose name has gone down in history as the author of the editio princeps of the Aristotelian Corpus.
亚里斯多德语料库与罗得斯传统:波西多尼乌斯对亚里斯多德作品传播的新光*
古代资料讲述了一个关于亚里士多德和泰奥弗拉斯托斯死后作品命运的特殊故事。根据主要由斯特拉波和普鲁塔克提供的信息,从泰奥弗拉斯托斯图书馆的继承人内琉斯时代起,直到公元前86年苏拉在雅典战胜米特拉达梯的战役结束,在两百多年的时间里,逍遥学派的文本丢失了,无法获得。就在这个时候,一位著名的藏书家的私人图书馆被没收了。这位藏书家名叫提奥斯的阿佩利康,在公元前一世纪初的某个时候,他得到了一份亲笔签名的纸莎草纸,里面有亚里士多德及其弟子作品的唯一副本。这些资料认为,苏拉为后人恢复了亚里士多德所谓的"深奥著作",这为亚里士多德思想的广泛传播奠定了基础,也为罗德岛的安德洛尼克斯的著作奠定了基础,后者的名字因撰写了亚里士多德文集的《基本原则》而名留史册。
