ZENONE, (ZENON), Testimonianze e frammenti. Introduzione, traduzione e commenta a cura di M. Untersteiner. La Nuova Italia, Firenze, 1970. (Reprint 1st ed.1963). XXX,219p. Hard bound. Signature on title page. Pages a bit yellowed due to paper quality. Series: Biblioteca di Studi Superiori, Vol. XLVI. ‘This volume gives us the Greek text of Xenophanes’ fragments and testimonia with Italian translation facing and commentary at the foot of the page. It is intended as the first of several to be devoted to the Eleatics and follows the pattern of the three volumes in the same series dealing with the sophists. (…) the long introduction discusses most of the problems raised by the attempt to interpret the thought of Xenophanes, and the argument is regularly fortnight and provocative. In two cases in particular new ground is broken - in the discussion of the value and origin of the section dealing with Xenophanes in the pseudo-Aristotelian treatise ‘De Melissa Xenophane Gorgia’, and in the discussion of Xenophanes’ conception of God.’ (G.B. KERFERD in The Classical Review (New Series), 1957, p.203). € 30.00 (Antiquarian)
