From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: In the so-called Lamprias Catalogue, a Perí ton próton phílosofe sánton kai ton áp' aftón (No. 184) is attributed to Plutarch. The work no longer exists, but its title is reminiscent of Metaph. 983 b 6ff., cf. tón de próton philosofesánton, where Aristotle describes Thales as "the founding father (árchegós) of this kind of philosophy", i.e. the philosophy of those who acknowledged only the "material cause", and who, in Aristotle's opinion, first deserved the name of philosophers.

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. pp. 5-20. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - Slightly rubbed, author's name underlined on cover, two typogr. corr., otherwise good and clean. - From the text: Among the names of the Greek philosophers of the divine or sacred art, known in antiquity for their importance and universal authority as being ecumenical (?????µe?????), is that of Democritus. Also attributed to Democritus is the famous Physika et Mystika (hereafter Ph. et M.), and that its author is to be identified with the philosopher of Abdera was claimed by Synesius in his commentary or scholia on the work. Despite these and other ancient associations of Democritus of Abdera with the beginnings of Greek alchemy, modern scholars are almost unanimous in denying their credibility. Only Berthelot seems to have been willing to allow that it was par une sorte daffinité naturelle que les alchimistes aient rapporté leurs origines à Démocrite. It has, in fact, become common to refer to pseudo-Democritus, and to identify him with Bolus of Mendes. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Sonderdruck. Zustand: Gut. pp. 143-163. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With author's dedication to W. Haase. - Binding a little light edged, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: In surveying the sources of Plutarchs education and learning, K. Ziegler observed that Plutarch was quite familiar with Herodotus History, and quoted it more often in his Moralia than in his Vitae1. Certainly Plutarchs knowledge of and interest in the History is well illustrated by De Herodoti malignitate (Mor. 854D -874 C), a treatise sometimes denied authenticity because of its very negative assessment of Herodotus, and the belief that Plutarch was a kind and good-natured thinker incapable of such an hostile critique. The current consensus, however, is that De Herodoti malignitate is genuine, and like Plutarchs other polemical works, e.g. Adversus Colotem, or De Stoicorum repugnantiis, shows how capable he was of harsh and biased criticism. Attempts, moreover, to regard De Herodoti malignitate as a youthful essay seem unconvincing: its chronology cannot be fixed with certainty, and even if it were early, not much would thereby be shown about Plutarchs overall attitude toward Herodotus.
