Further Emendations in the Fragments of Theophrastus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
A short article was published in the Classical Quarterly in 1921 (Vol. XV, pp. 166–8) entitled ‘Some Emendations in the Fragments of Theophrastus,’ which sought to show that several passages of Theophrastus could be improved by a comparison with certain of the Pseudo-Aristotelian Problems where the author of the latter is obviously deriving his material from Theophrastus. A further comparison of the Problems and Theophrastus, carried out in the course of preparing an edition of the former, has led to the discovery of more parallel passages and makes it possible to suggest further improvements in the text of several passages of Theophrastus.
