First Edition printed in a German-speaking country correcting the Aldine edition of 1514. The Lexicon suffered substantial alterations including abridgements and additions on its way from the author to the only surviving manuscript of the fifteenth century. This production gives all-important information about the manuscript and the work of earlier scholars. Hesychius of Alexandria lived in the fifth century A.D. and compiled this dictionary of unusual or difficult Greek words with explanations in Greek. Approximately 51000 entries make it the richest surviving Greek lexicon compiled until the invention of printing. Hesychius Lexicon is of great importance to Ancient Greek studies because it contains countless words and expressions from poetry administration medicine and so on that are otherwise unknown or insufficiently explained. In particular this work preserves numerous words from the Greek dialects that are important not only for Greek but also for Indo-European philology. Staikos says A unique source book Hesychius Lexicon deals mainly with words that exist in unusual forms or have more than one meaning that is to say rare words that were not in everyday use. It also quotes a great many passages from lost works by orators poets historians and medical writers. Excellent survival and passed through many learned hands. Adams H509; Staikos I 348.

John's commentaries on Aristotle were influential on medieval and early modern thinkers in Europe such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Galileo. Philoponus has been seen as an important precursor to the establishment of empirical philosophy. <BR> In this book Philoponus comments on Aristotle's De Anima On the Soul and substantially modifies Aristotle's ideas. His commentary deals specifically with Aristotle's theory of light "Philoponus contends that Aristotle' view fails to account both for the laws of optics. Philoponus modifies the theory so as to save the phenomena he proceeds to re-interpret the term Energeia not as a state of actuality but rather as an 'incorporeal activity' which besides constituting the transparency of the medium is also capable of warming bodies.Due to this novel interpretation of Aristotle's terminology light is now understood not statically but as something dynamical." - Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia. <BR>It should also be noted that since Michael Hayduck's edition Berlin 1897 it is generally assumed by scholars that the third book of the commentary that had been ascribed to John Philoponus wasoriginally written by Stephanus of Alexandria as is attested in the manuscript Parisinus gr. 1914 11th/12th cent.
