"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.

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.
