An astounding project of analysis on more than one hundred
translations of ancient philosophical texts, this index of words found
in the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series comprises some 114,000
entries. It forms in effect a unique dictionary of philosophical terms
from the post-Hellenistic period through to late antiquity and will be
an essential reference tool for any scholar working on the meaning of
these ancient texts. As traditional dictionaries have usually
neglected to include translation examples from philosophical texts of
this period, scholars interested in how meanings of words vary across
time and author have been ill served. This index fills a huge gap,
therefore, in the lexical analysis of ancient Greek and has
application well beyond the reading of ancient philosophical
commentaries. Bringing together the full indexes from 110 of the
volumes published in Bloomsbury's Ancient Commentators on Aristotle
series, McKirahan has combined each word entry and analysed how many
times particular translations occur. He presents his findings
numerically so that each meaning in turn has a note as to the number
of times it is used. For meanings that are found between one and four
times the volume details are also given so that readers may quickly
and easily look up the texts themselves.
