Neoplatonists on Substance: The Commentary by Ammonius and Asclepius on Aristotle's Metaphysics Book 7 (Zeta)

这个项目的目标是，首先，提供第一个翻译成现代语言的最早幸存的评论亚里士多德的形而上学的书7（泽塔）。这篇评论是由特拉利的阿斯克勒庇俄斯在公元6世纪写的，不过是根据他的老师、亚历山大的阿蒙纽斯·赫米欧（公元435/445 -517/526）的一系列讲座写成的。它在很大程度上被忽视了，但这种忽视是不公平的，因为它包含了很多有趣的东西，这个项目的目的是通过让更广泛的读者接触到它来纠正这一点。翻译（成英文）将基于M. Hayduck （CAG VI,2[1888]）编辑的文本，并已委托出版在著名的古代评论亚里士多德系列。该项目的第二个目标是对阿斯克勒庇俄斯和阿蒙纽斯关于物质的描述进行明确的研究，特别关注新柏拉图主义对他们思想的影响。这篇文章将发表在同行评议的期刊上，并将为已发表的译文的介绍和学术注释提供信息。

The goal of this project is, firstly, to provide the first-ever translation into a modern language of the earliest surviving commentary on Book 7 (Zeta) of Aristotle’s Metaphysics. This commentary was written down by Asclepius of Tralles in the 6th century C.E. though based on a lecture series by his teacher, Ammonius Hermeiou of Alexandria (c. 435/445 –517/526 C.E.). It has been largely neglected, but this neglect is unjust as it contains much of interest, and this project aims to correct this by making it accessible to a wider readership. The translation (into English) will be based on text edited by M. Hayduck (CAG VI,2 [1888]) and has been commissioned for publication in the renowned Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series. The second aim of this project is to produce a definitive study of Asclepius’ and Ammonius’ account(s) of substance, with a particular focus on the Neoplatonic influence on their thought. This account will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will inform the introduction and scholarly annotations of the published translation.
