Ancient Commentators on Aristotle Project
Ancient commentators on Aristotle project (abbreviated: ACA ) is a project to translate the ancient, late antique and Byzantine commentaries on the writings of Aristotle into English. The Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca (CAG) are not completely translated, but for the most part translated; further relevant writings were also included in the project. The project, based at King's College London , was initiated by Richard Sorabji and is under his direction. About 90 volumes have been published since the project began in 1987. Further volumes are in preparation. The translation series is flanked by seven volumes of interpretive content.
