The Herculanean History of Stoicism

所谓的《Stoicorum索引》是一本关于哲学史的著作，作者是伊壁鸠鲁派哲学家菲洛德穆斯（Philodemus of Gadara）。1018)。这篇论文对于斯多葛派和古代哲学史的突出价值在于，它包含了从芝诺到帕纳提乌斯的学生等几位早期斯多葛派领袖的信息，否则这些信息就会丢失。新获得的多光谱图像（MSI）和高光谱图像（HSI）使我们能够比以前的编辑更好地阅读这张黑暗的纸莎草纸。原作中肉眼看不见的段落现在可以破译了。此外，新的文献计量数学方法有助于建立碎片的顺序，并确定丢失段落的程度。和《学术索引》一样，《斯多伊orum索引》是另一本保存完好的菲洛德摩斯的《哲学家汇编》，它至少包含了十本书。在我之前的DFG项目中，我能够将学院的文本改进大约30%，这意味着关于柏拉图及其继任者的大量新信息。随着《斯托科伦索引》的新版本和评注的完成，下一个合乎逻辑的步骤将会进行。基于我开发的新的编辑系统，基于创新的成像技术和跨学科的分析，这篇对古典主义者、哲学史家和文学学者同样有趣的文本将被重新编辑和深刻地重新评估，从而为斯多葛主义的历史提供新的视角。最后一版的文本，没有提供新的图像的帮助，受到一些批评，所以这个关键的赫库兰尼文本的新版本代表，因为它是研究的愿望。此外，菲洛德摩斯所引用的资料来源将被更仔细地探究，并将在菲洛德摩斯的哲学历史作品和第欧根尼·拉尔修的作品的背景下讨论该论文。我自己对莎草纸的简短初步检查以及最近的研究贡献表明，文本可以大大改进。我打算出版的新版《Stoicorum索引》/专著旨在提供一个方便的访问，同时提供文献学-纸理学的深度；此外，文本应以数字版本提供。新版《斯多科伦索引》的目的是在方法和表现上与（即将计划的）《学术索引》版本趋同，这不仅是未来各种片断收集和其他研究项目的理想（而且部分是必要的），也是对希腊哲学和赫库拉尼纸莎草学研究的一个受欢迎的贡献。

The so-called Index Stoicorum is a work on the history of philosophy written by the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus of Gadara, which is only preserved in a carbonized papyrus from Herculaneum (PHerc. 1018). The outstanding value of this treatise for the history of Stoicism and ancient philosophy lies in the fact that it contains several otherwise lost information on leading early Stoics, from Zeno to the pupils of Panaetius. Newly available Multispectral images (MSI) and Hyperspectral images (HSI) allow to read this dark papyrus far better than previous editors. Passages of the original that are invisible to the human eye can be deciphered now. In addition, new bibliometric-mathematical methods help to establish the order of the fragments and to determine the extent of lost passages. Along with the Index Academicorum, the Index Stoicorum is the other well-preserved volume of Philodemus’ syntaxis ("Arrangement of Philosophers"), which embraced ten books at least. In the course of my previous DFG project I was able to improve the text on the Academy by about 30%, which implies a great deal of new information on Plato and his successors. With a new edition and commentary of the Index Stoicorum, the next logical step shall be undertaken. Based on a new editorial system I developed, based on innovative imaging techniques and an interdisciplinary analysis, this text, which is equally interesting for classicists, historians of philosophy and literary scholars, shall be re-edited and profoundly reassessed, thereby shedding new light on the history of Stoicism. The last edition of the text, provided without the help of the new images, was subject to some criticism, so that a new edition of this key Herculanean text represents, as it were, a desideratum of research. Moreover, the sources Philodemus drew upon, shall be inquired more closely and the treatise shall be discussed in the context of Philodemus’ philosophical-historical oeuvre and the work of Diogenes Laertius. My own short preliminary examination of the papyrus as well as recent research contributions show that the text can be improved substantially. My intended new edition/monograph of the Index Stoicorum aims at offering an easy access while at the same time providing philological-papyrological depth; additionally, the text shall be made available as a digital edition. A new edition of the Index Stoicorum, which is intended to have convergences in method and presentation to the (soon scheduled) edition of the Index Academicorum, is not only desirable (and partly essential) for various future collections of fragments and research projects of others, but also a welcome contribution to the study of Hellenistic philosophy and Herculanean papyrology in general.
