项目摘要

This project seeks to compose the first-ever critical edition of the influential Commentary on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics by the distinguished Byzantine scholar George Pachymeres (1242-ca. 1310). The edition will be accompanied by an English translation, extensive introduction and indexes at the end, and will be published in an open-access environment, freely available to both specialist and lay audience for use in many contexts. The proposed edition has been commissioned for publication by De Gruyter (series: 'Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca et Byzantina' = CAGB) and is part of a comprehensive editorial venture, which will make available a large number of unedited Byzantine commentaries on Aristotle's works, eventually contributing to the reception of the Aristotelian tradition in Byzantium and the development of Aristotelian studies more broadly. The project is of significant academic impact. A reliable text for Pachymeres' Commentary on the Nicomachean Ethics is imperative for a wider reassessment of late Byzantine philosophy, as it will emphasise the original contributions made by scholars in this period. At the same time it will establish and help to consolidate the as yet unknown importance of the Late Byzantine period (1261-1453) as an age of considerable philosophical engagement with Aristotle. The edition and translation will throw light on contemporary educational practices by exploring the extent to which Aristotelian commentaries acted as didactic manuals. Relatedly, it will raise the need for an all-encompassing study of late Byzantine education, a topic that is still little explored and poorly understood. Furthermore, it will stimulate further research on the connections between Byzantine philosophy and Western theology and philosophy, and make us reflect on the transfer of knowledge with Arabic philosophy too. The project will help to refine our understanding of Aristotle's reception in Christian religious thought, and thus will tackle the heated question of how pagan (i.e. ancient Greek) philosophy was more or less easily incorporated into the Christian scholarly community of the later centuries of Byzantium. Last but not least, this study is intended to act as a seed project for the investigation of the undervalued topic of the function of Late Byzantine ethics both as a theoretical discipline and as a practical source of advice on how the good life was expected to be led in Constantinople and other significant parts of the Byzantine Empire.Apart from the edition and translation, this project will publish an edited volume arising from an international conference organised by the research team. The volume will be the first comprehensive study of Byzantine ethical works produced from the 10th to the 15th century and will bear the title 'Ethical works in Byzantium: continuities and transformations'. The project's findings will be communicated to the interested public via its interactive online portal, through which users may contribute their insights into the editorial process and especially some fascinating diagrams featuring in the margins of the manuscripts. Another form of public engagement will be a showcase of sample Greek manuscripts from the rich repositories of the Special Collections of the University of Glasgow Library, which will be targeted at pupils from local schools. This is envisaged as an educational introduction to medieval manuscript culture. The project illuminates a momentous period of Byzantine literary culture. More generally, it will therefore help to revisit the issue of how Byzantine studies are seen in the wider fields of intellectual and cultural history today.

该项目旨在撰写杰出的拜占庭学者乔治帕希梅雷斯（1242-ca）对亚里士多德的尼各马可伦理学的有影响力的评论的第一个关键版本。1310）。该版本将附有英文译本，并在最后提供广泛的介绍和索引，并将在开放获取的环境中出版，免费提供给专家和非专业观众，供在许多情况下使用。拟议的版本已委托出版的德格鲁伊特（系列：“评注在希腊和拜占庭”= CAGB），是一个全面的编辑企业的一部分，这将提供大量未经编辑的拜占庭评论亚里士多德的作品，最终有助于接受拜占庭传统和发展更广泛的亚里士多德研究。该项目具有重要的学术影响。一个可靠的文本Pachymeres'评论尼各马科伦理学是必要的更广泛的重新评估后期拜占庭哲学，因为它将强调在这一时期的学者作出的原始贡献。与此同时，它将确立并有助于巩固拜占庭晚期（1261-1453）作为与亚里士多德进行相当大的哲学接触的时代的重要性。该版本和翻译将通过探索在何种程度上阿斯特丽安评论作为教学手册，照亮当代教育实践。与此相关的是，它将提出对拜占庭晚期教育进行全方位研究的必要性，这一主题仍然很少被探索和理解。此外，它将促进进一步研究拜占庭哲学与西方神学和哲学之间的联系，并使我们反思与阿拉伯哲学的知识转移。该项目将有助于完善我们对亚里士多德在基督教宗教思想中的接受的理解，从而解决异教（即古希腊）哲学如何或多或少容易地融入拜占庭后期几个世纪的基督教学术界的激烈问题。最后但并非最不重要的是，这项研究旨在作为一个种子项目，为调查被低估的主题，即后期拜占庭伦理学的功能，无论是作为一个理论学科，还是作为一个实际的建议来源，关于如何在君士坦丁堡和拜占庭帝国的其他重要部分过上美好的生活。除了版本和翻译，该项目将出版由研究团队组织的国际会议产生的编辑卷。该卷将是第一次全面研究拜占庭伦理作品产生的10至15世纪，并将承担标题“伦理作品在拜占庭：连续性和变革”。该项目的调查结果将通过其互动式在线门户网站向感兴趣的公众传达，用户可以通过该门户网站对编辑过程提出自己的见解，特别是手稿边缘的一些迷人图表。另一种形式的公众参与将是展示来自格拉斯哥大学图书馆特别馆藏丰富的希腊手稿样本，这将针对当地学校的学生。这被设想为中世纪手稿文化的教育介绍。该项目阐明了拜占庭文学文化的一个重要时期。因此，更广泛地说，它将有助于重新审视拜占庭研究如何在当今更广泛的知识和文化历史领域中被看待的问题。
