Our only sources for Xenophanes are later authors who ascribe to him certain things: e.g., to have used these or those words (as in the case of literal quotations), to have held these or those beliefs (as in the case of paraphrases and doxographical reports), to have done or undergone this or that during his life (as in the case of biographical information). While modern scholarship on Xenophanes has been primarily concerned with making its own ascriptions to Xenophanes based on the ancient ones, our project aims to provide an exhaustive documentation of the latter and to explain from their context why they are made in just the way they are. The documentation will be given in a new collection of all the testimonies on Xenophanes from the 5th century BC to the 13th century AD, the explanation in an accompanying commentary. This will not only be a major contribution to the historiography of the reception of Xenophanes but will also sharpen our sense of the context dependence of the ascriptions. While recognition of this dependence does not lead by itself to a certain assessment of the truth of the ascriptions, it is a necessary condition for a justified assessment and thus far more than a mere matter of the reception history of Xenophanes.

我们对色诺芬尼的唯一来源是后来的作者谁归因于他某些事情：例如，使用这些或那些话（如在字面报价的情况下），持有这些或那些信仰（如在释义和doxographic报告的情况下），在他的生活中做过或经历过这个或那个（如在传记信息的情况下）。虽然现代学者对色诺芬尼的研究主要是基于古代的色诺芬尼，我们的项目旨在提供后者的详尽文献，并从他们的背景中解释为什么他们是以这种方式制作的。文件将在一个新的收集所有的证词色诺芬尼从公元前5世纪到公元13世纪，解释在一个附带的评论。这不仅将是对色诺芬尼接受史的一个重大贡献，而且也将使我们对归属的语境依赖性的认识更加敏锐。虽然承认这种依赖性本身并不导致对归属真实性的某种评估，但它是合理评估的必要条件，因此远远不仅仅是色诺芬尼接受历史的问题。
