Condición: Very Good. Hardcover in a bright orange dust jacket, 336 pages. This book is a commentary on the surviving testimonia and fragments of Posidonius' work collected in Volume I of this edition. Posidonius was one of the most important philosophers and intellectuals writing in the first century BC Graeco-Roman world. The purpose of this commentary is to assess the fragmentary evidence and reports of Posidonius found in the writings of about sixty ancient authors, and to separate what Posidonius himself actually said from the interpretations and distortions of his reporters. Since Posidonius also wrote at length on the sciences and on geography, and composed a large History, Kidd assesses his work against the philosophical, scientific, and historical writings of Posidonius' predecessors and contemporaries. Each fragment is explored through detailed examination of its context, philosophical and scientific content, and its relationship to Posidonius' whole thought and to contemporary ideas. VOLUME 1 ONLY. The fragments are in the original Greek and Latin (mostly Greek). The Introduction is in English. Previous owner's name on front fly leaf, embossed stamp, otherwise a clean copy.

"The only previous edition of the fragments, published in 1810, is incomplete and now very much out of date, and the present edition will be indispensale for specialist in Posidonian studies." - from dust-jacket blurb. "Ludwig Edelstein announced in 1936, in his justly famous article, 'The Philosophical System of Posidonius.' that he was preparing a collection of the fragments of Posidonius. Although he spent a great deal of time and effort on this project in the following years, and was recognised as a leading authority on Posidonius, the work sadly remained unfinished at his death in 1965." - page xi. "Posidonius of Apamei and Rhodes was one of the most important and interesting figures of the first half of the first century B.C. Not only was he the leading Stoic philosopher of his time, with original approaches in all three conventional philosophical departments of physics, ethics and logic, but his thinking and writing embraced also mathematics, the scinces, geography and history in a remarkable aetiological attempt to survey and explain the whole field of the human intellect and the universe in which it found itself." - page xiii.

Hardback. Condición: New. Posidonius was a major intellectual figure of the Hellenistic world whose interests and contribution spread over the whole intellectual field: philosophy, history, the sciences. His writings are of interest not only to philosophers and classicists, but also to historians and history of science. His work survives only in fragments. The text of these fragments, collected and edited by L. Edelstein and I. G. Kidd, was published in 1972 (Vol. I The Fragments), with a second edition in 1989. This collection, along with Vol. II The Commentary by I.G. Kidd (1988), has become established as the definitive modern edition. However, many of the fragments are extremely difficult to translate, and this volume of translations has been compiled to make this interesting material more easily accessible to scholars and students. The translations are accompanied by contextual introductions and explanatory notes where necessary. An Introduction summarises the importance of Posidonius and his work.…
