The book contains a collection of the ethical fragments of Theo- phrastus(quotations,paraphrases,reportsetc.)togetherwithacommen- taryinGerman.Forthebriefesttime,IthoughtthatImightmoveonto entirely newchallenges; certainly Iwould notwritea secondcommen- tary on Theophrastus’ ethics. Of that idea I was quickly disabused, for havingorganizedateamofscholars,whowerecommittedtocollecting, translatingandcommentingonallthefragmentsofTheophrastus—often referredtoasProjectTheophrastus—itsoonbecameclearthatarational divisionoftaskswouldnotletmewalkawayfromethics.Tobesure,par- ticipationinthislargerprojectwouldleadmeintonewfields,inpartic- ular,rhetoricandpoetics,butatthesametimeIbecamethepersonpri- marilyresponsibleforrevisingtheethicalfragmentsthathadbeenpub- lishedinQuellen.Inaddition,itfelltometoprovideatranslation,which was missing in Quellen, and to write a commentary that took account of our new and fuller collection of fragments. Now some twenty-seven years after the publication of Quellen, I have no regrets, for fragments missing in Quellen have been identified and included, the apparatus of paralleltextshasbeenimproved,thesameistrueoftheapparatusofvari- antreadings,andafacingtranslation(Greek,LatinandArabictextson the left, English on the right) has been added. These improvements are nowavailableinthetwovolumeworkTheophrastusofEresus:Sourcesfor HisLife,Writings,ThoughtandInfluence(Brill,reprint). The present commentary is considerably longer than that found in Quellen.Thatishardlysurprising,giventheyearsthatseparatethetwo works. Texts not found in Quellen have been commented upon, new ideas set forth in the scholarly literature have been incorporated, and old ideas have been revised.
