This second volume complete in itself is famous for the author's work on women philosophers. Diogenes Laertius is the prime source of biographical information on Greek philosophers and the present volume by Aegidius Menagius Gilles Ménage of Angers 1613-92 presents the commentator's elaborate notes on this author. Perhaps more interesting to modern readers is the small "Historical account of philosophic women" which includes among many others both Aspasia and Hypatia. That work Aegidius dedicated to the classicist Anna Dacier. Henric Wetstenium unknown

With several indices. Brunet II 93. Dibdin 503-504. Graesse 396. Moss 400. Oxford Classical Dictionary 474-475. Brunet calls this edition the most complete and the most beautiful of Diogenes' Lives. Moss refers to it as a rare elegant and excellent edition with the most correct and critical revision of the Greek text. Dibdin praises it as the best and most splendid extant edition of the author's works. Diogenes Laertius' Lives were likely composed around the middle of the third century A.C.E. Diogenes writes about philosophers from Ionia the pre-Socratics and about a few Stoic figures. His biographies span from Thales to Epicurus. He names his historical sources and his work is quite copious in its list of quotations and its references to other writers. Diogenes' work on the Stoic philosophers and on Epicurus is particularly valuable from a historical perspective. A lovely edition of ancient Greek and Roman history with some of Renaissance Europe's greatest classicists contributing to its production. The front flyleaf of volume two is slightly misaligned and the second volume's rear hinge shows a tiny split and a repair not affecting the integrity of the binding.
