ASPASIUS

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 766 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ASPASIUS , a Greek peripatetic philosopher, and a prolific commentator on
Aristotle
 . He flourished probably towards the close of the 1st
century
  A.D., or perhaps during the reign of Antoninus
Pius
 . His commentaries on the Categories, De Interpretation, De Sensu, and other works ,of
Aristotle
  are frequently referred to by later writers, but have not come down to us. Commentaries on Plato, mentioned by
Porphyry
  in his
life
  of
Plotinus
 , have also been lost. Commentaries on books 1-4, 7 (in
part
 ), and 8 of the Nicomachean Ethics are preserved; that on book 8 was printed with those of Eustratius and others by Aldus Manutius at Venice in 1536. They were partly (2-4) translated into Latin by Felicianus in 1541, and have frequently been republished, but their authenticity has been disputed. The most
recent
  .edition is by G. Heylbut in Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca, xix. 1 (Berlin, 1889).
Another AsPAS1us, in the 3rd
century
  A.D., was a Roman sophist and rhetorician, son or pupil of the rhetorician Demetrianus. He taught
rhetoric
  in Rome, and filled the chair of
rhetoric
  founded by Vespasian. He was secretary to the emperor Maximin. His orations, which are praised for their style, are lost.
