Essays on constitutions ; Books VI-VIII : text and notes

Aristotle, WilliamLambert Newman, 著NewmanW.L.

William L. Newman (1834-1923) published Volume 4 of Politics of Aristotle in 1902. It contains his reconstructed Greek text of books 4-8 of the Politics with critical notes, detailed commentary, and an essay on the types of constitutions discussed in the work. Newman's reconstructed text is based on the edition of Susemihl (1872) and his own fresh collations of a number of important Greek manuscripts. Newman's cautious text, always supported by extensive manuscript evidence, was widely regarded as an improvement on Bekker's more conjectural 1837 text. Newman's detailed commentary was highly praised and has been used for over a century by students of the Politics. As a scholar and pedagogue, Newman had a significant impact on nineteenth-century classical studies. His four-volume edition of the Politics stands as a monument of Victorian scholarship and will continue to be read and studied by scholars and students of Aristotle.
