To date, no comprehensive account has been published to explain the complex phenomenon of the reception of Aristotle’s philosophy in Antiquity. This Companion fills this lacuna by offering broad coverage of the subject from Hellenistic times to the sixth century AD.
"The richness of this book is shown not only by the incredible value of each of its chapters -all of them in line with the most updated research, amazingly interesting both for the neophyte and for the researcher- but also for the many methodological insights on the history of the transmission of texts and ideas that it provides. It is not only the result of a wonderful intellectual work but also a roadmap that shows how the research on the history of the reception of Aristotle has proceeded -and, even more importantly, points out countless new paths through which it is possible to continue this research."
