The Fragments of Zeno and Cleanthes: With Introd, and Explanatory Notes Essay (Classic Reprint)

Hare Prize, and appears nearly in its original form. For many reasons, however, I should have desired to subject the work to a more searching revision than has been practicable under the circumstances. I ndeed, error is especially difficult tavoid in dealing with a large body of scattered authorities, the majority of which can only be consulted in a publiclibrary. The obligations, which require to be acknowledged for the present collection of the fragments of Zeno and Cleanthes, are both special and general. The former are soon disposed of. In the Neue Jahrbticher fur Philolofjie for 1878, p. 435 foil., Wellmann published an article on Zeno of Citium, which was the first serious attempt to discriminate the teaching of Zeno from that of the Stoa in general. The omissions of Wellmann were supplied and the first complete collection of the fragments of Cleanthes was made by Wachsmuth in two Gottingen programs published in 187-i LS75 (C ommentationes I et II de Zenone Citiensi et Cleaittie A ssio). Mullach scollection of the fragments of Cleanthes in vol. I of the Fragmenta Philusoplioriun Gnieconnn is so inadequate as hardly to deserve mention.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
