Andronikos of Rhodes
Andronikos of Rhodes was a renewer of the Aristotelian philosophy . He lived in the 1st century BC. It is not certain whether he taught in Athens - possibly as head of Peripatos - or in Rome .
According to a widespread view, its importance lies primarily in the compilation and edition of Aristotle's writings in a complete edition, which, however, only contained the esoteric writings, the so-called pragmatics . This was made by him in the second half of the first century BC. Issued BC. As a result of this editing activity, these writings were distributed, but the exoteric ones, i.e. H. the writings intended for publication by Aristotle himself, which Cicero still had , were lost. The edition of Andronikos forms the basis of the tradition and thus the first modern complete edition of Immanuel Bekker , according to the number of pages Aristotle is cited in all editions and translations to this day. Andronikos' actual contribution to the edition has, however, been repeatedly disputed in modern research, especially by Jonathan Barnes and also by Werner Jaeger .
Andronikos' writings, including commentaries on Aristotle, are all lost. The essay Peri pathon and a paraphrase of Nicomachean Ethics , which have survived and were previously ascribed to him, are both certainly by a different author.
