Oxford Classical Texts
3 total works
This new translation of De Caelo ( On the Heavens ) fits seamlessly with other volumes in the New Hackett Aristotle series, enabling Anglophone readers to study Aristotle's work in a way previously not possible. The Introduction describes the book that lies ahead, explaining what it is about, what it is trying to do, how it goes about doing it, and what sort of audience it presupposes. Sequentially numbered endnotes provide the information most needed at each juncture, while a detailed Index indicates the places where focused discussion of key notions occurs.
Oxford Classical Texts (forming the series formerly known as Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis), are renowned for their scholarly reliability and clear presentation. Each volume in the series contains a text which has been rigorously edited to the highest standards of scholarship with original work on the manuscripts, accompanied by a critical apparatus at the foot of the page which provides concise information on manuscript and textual variants, and an introduction which discusses the textual tradition. Oxford Classical Texts (or OCTs) are a key choice for scholars and students looking for definitive critical editions of classical literature.
