Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Source Book in Ancient Philosophy
While most of these sources are already accessible in translation they are. Scattered through so many volumes, and are mixed with so much material that is chie?y of value to the advanced student whose historical interests have become highly specialized, as to be practically unavailable for use in connection with introductory courses.
My obligations to others are so numerous that it would be impossible to mention them all. In making the translations I have in each case had before me all of the translations already in the field, whether in English, German, French, or Latin, upon which I could lay my hands; and I have borrowed freely from most of them. In especial, however, I should like to acknowledge my indebtedness to Professors Diels, Burnet, and Fairbanks; and in the selection of passages I have taken many suggestions from the works of Ritter and Preller, Wallace, Jackson, and Adam.
