Philolaus of Croton: Pythagorean and Presocratic: A Commentary on the Fragments and Testimonia with Interpretive Essays

edited and translated by Carl A. Huffman

Before this book's first publication in 1993, the previous study devoted to Philolaus, `the foremost of the early Pythagoreans', had appeared in 1819. Therefore this commentary on both genuine and more spurious fragments was timely. Each fragment is presented in Greek with an English translation, a commentary and a discussion of the fragment's authenticity. The first half of the book, however, comprises a discussion of Philolaus life, writings and philosophy, set within the context of 5th-century Pythagoreanism. A knowledge of Greek is presumed. 444p (Cambridge UP 1993, rep 2004)
