Extractions: Eudemus of Rhodes was a philosopher and follower of Aristotle in the late fourth century BC. Damascius was a Neoplatonist of the late fifth and early sixth century AD. The Magi and the whole Iranian race call by the name Space or Time that which forms an intelligible and integrated whole from which a Good God and an Evil Demon were separated out, or as some say, light and darkness before these.

István Bodnár, William W. Fortenbaugh, eudemus of rhodes. Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities, XI. New Brunswick Transaction Publishers, 2002. Pp. x, 383. ISBN 07658-0134-5. $69
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2003/2003-11-10.html

Extractions: This volume (largely derived from a conference held at Budapest in 1997) is part of a project that aims to provide new editions and studies of the individuals included in Fritz Wehrli's Die Schule des Aristoteles (second edition, 1967-69). Earlier volumes on Demetrius of Phalerum and Dicaearchus of Messana have offered new collections of translated fragments and de facto commentaries in the form of papers. Now we have sixteen papers on Eudemus, "the truest of Aristotle's followers" (33); the fragments, particularly extensive in this philosopher's case, will presumably appear separately. Eudemus was "a worthy professor battling to instill the rudiments of Aristotelian philosophy into an undistinguished group of students" (36). Inevitably, some 350 pages of studies on such a recognisable academic predecessor do not make for exciting reading, but, when like these offerings they are the work of experienced scholars, they result in welcome reexaminations of the relevant evidence on biography, on bibliography, and on philosophy and science and its history in antiquity. Eudemus was not only a pioneer Aristotelian commentator (whose work on physics was still being quoted extensively and respectfully by Simplicius in the sixth century AD, and most of whose fragments come from Aristotelian commentators) but the author of a treatise on the philosophy of language (the subject of a commentary by Galen), and as a historian of philosophy and science an important source for knowledge of his predecessors.

http://classics.rutgers.edu/proj_theophrastus.html

Extractions: In 1979, Project Theophrastus was founded by Professor William Fortenbaugh . Its stated purpose was to collect, edit, translate and comment on the fragments of the philosopher Theophrastus, who was Aristotle's pupil and second head of the Peripatetic School. At the outset, the Project was generously supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, private foundations and Rutgers University. It continues to receive support from the university and private foundations. In 1991, Brill in Leiden published the collected fragments of Theophrastus together with a full translation. A second printing with corrections followed the following year. The collection is in two volumes running approximately 1200 pages. In addition to Fortenbaugh, the primary editors of the volumes were Pamela Huby (Liverpool), Robert Sharples (London) and Dimitri Gutas (Yale). Significant contributions were also made by Andrew Barker (Warwick), John Keaney (Princeton), David Mirhady (Simon Fraser), David Sedley (Cambridge) and Michael Sollenberger (Mount St. Marys MD). To date, three commentaries on particular areas within the collection have been published: those on biology and on botany by Sharples were published in 1995 and 1998 respectively, and that on psychology by Huby appeared in 1999. These commentaries, like the text-translation volumes, are available from Brill. The work of Project Theophrastus has been expanded to include the colleagues, pupils and successors of Theophrastus. In particular members of the Project intend to redo Fritz Wehrli's Die Schule des Aristoteles/The School of Aristotle. Missing texts are being included, the apparatus of variant readings and parallel texts is being enlarged, and an English translation added. Two volumes are now available: one is devoted to Demetrius of Phalerum and a second concerns Dicaearchus of Messana. Both volumes have been published in the series

CHAPTER XII. THE PERIPATETIC SCHOOL. Sources. Of the life of eudemus of rhodes little is known except that he and Theophrastus were disciples of In his writings and doctrines Eudemus shows far less originality and independence
http://www.nd.edu/Departments/Maritain/etext/hop12.htm

Extractions: THE PERIPATETIC SCHOOL Sources . Besides our primary sources , consisting of treatises and commentaries of the philosophers of Aristotle's school, we have, as secondary sources, the works of Diogenes Laertius and the references made by Cicero, who, it should be said, is more trustworthy when he mentions the Peripatetics than when he speaks of the pre-Socratic philosophers. Theophrastus of Lesbos was born about the same year as Aristotle. He seems to have become Aristotle's disciple even before the death of Plato. After Aristotle's death he ruled the Peripatetic school as scholarch for about thirty-five years. He wrote many works, of which the best known are two treatises on botany and his Ethical Characters , the latter consisting of lifelike delineations of types of human character. He extended and completed Aristotle's philosophy of nature, devoting special attention to the science of botany . In his ethical doctrines he insisted on the choregia secured to virtue by the possession of external goods.
Eudemus
eudemus of rhodes. Some works by Eudemus are harder to identify with Eudemusof Rhodes and may have been written by others with the same name.
http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Eudemus.html

Extractions: We should certainly credit Eudemus of Rhodes for his achievements in this archive since Eudemus seems to have been the first major historian of mathematics. Simplicius informs us that a biography of Eudemus was written by Damas, who is unknown but for this reference, but sadly no trace of this biography has been found. As exciting aspect of the history of mathematics is that the discovery of this text (and other lost texts) in the future, although highly unlikely, always remains a possibility. Eudemus was born on Rhodes and we know that he had a brother called Boethus. Of his parents and early life we know nothing, but we do know that he studied with Aristotle Aristotle spent time in Athens, Assos and other places and it would certainly be good to understand when Eudemus studied with him. Unfortunately there is no record either of time or of place which would let us answer these questions with any degree of certainty. W Jaeger, however, in his discussion of Aristotle [4] (see also [5]) has argued strongly that Eudemus studied with Aristotle during his period in Assos.
Hippocrates
eudemus of rhodes, who was a pupil of Aristotle, wrote History of Geometryin which he described the contribution of Hippocrates on lunes.
http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Hippocrates.html

Extractions: Hippocrates of Chios taught in Athens and worked on the classical problems of squaring the circle and duplicating the cube Iamblichus [4] writes:- One of the Pythagoreans Hippocrates lost his property, and when this misfortune befell him he was allowed to make money by teaching geometry. Heath [6] recounts two versions of this story:- One version of the story is that Hippocrates was a merchant, but lost all his property through being captured by a pirate vessel. He then came to Athens to persecute the offenders and, during a long stay, attended lectures, finally attaining such proficiency in geometry that he tried to square the circle. Heath also recounts a different version of the story as told by Aristotle ... he allowed himself to be defrauded of a large sum by custom-house officers at Byzantium, thereby proving, in Aristotle 's opinion, that, though a good geometer, he was stupid and incompetent in the business of ordinary life.

http://www.thedyinggod.com/duris.htm

Extractions: The following fragment from Xenophon preserves information provided by Duris of Samos, born about the middle of the fourth century BC, whose Histories covered a period of nearly a century, beginning wth 370 BC. In the seventh book of his Histories Duris has preserved the following account on this subject. Only at the festival celebrated by the Persians in honour of Mithra does the Persian king become drunken and dance after the Persian manner. On this day throughout Asia all abstain from the dance. For the Persians are taught both horsemanship and dancing; and they believe that the practice of these rhythmical movements strengthens and disciplines the body.

http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/P/PE/PERIPATETICS.htm

Extractions: PERIPATETICS (from Gr. TreptirareIv, to walk about), the name given in antiquity to the followers of Aristotle (q.v.), either from his habit of walking up and down as he lectured to his pupils, or from the irepiiraror (covered walk) of the Lyceum. Aristotles immediate successors,i Theophrastus and Eudemus of Rhodes, were diligent scholars rather than original thinkers. They made no innovations upon the main doctrines of their master, and their industry is chiefly directed to supplementing his works in minor particulars. Thus they amplified Theothe Aristotelian logic by the theory of the hypo- phrastus. thetical and disjunctive syllogism, and added to the first figure of the categorical syllogism the five moods ont of which the fourth figure was afterwards constructed. The impulse towards natural science and the systematizing of empirical details which distinguished Aristotle from Plato was shared by .Theophrastus (q.v.). The same turn for detail is observable in his ethics, where, to judge from the imperfect evidence of the Characters, he elaborated still farther Aristotles portraiture of the virtues 1 See Gellius, Noct, Att. xiii. 5, for the story of how Aristotle chose Theophrastus as his surcessor. The successors of Strato in the headship of the Lyceum were Lyco, Aristo of Ceos, Critolaus (q.v.), Diodorus of Tyre, and Erymneus, who brings the philosophic succession down to about 100 B.C. Other Peripatetics belonging to this period are Hieronymus of Rhodes, Prytanis and Phormio of Ephesus, the delirus senex who attempted to instruct Hannibal in the art of war (Cic. De oral. ii. 18). Sotion, Hermippus and Satyrus were historians rather than philosophers. Heraclides Lembus, Agatharchides and Antisthenes of Rhodes are names to us and nothing more. The fact is that, after Strato, the Peripatetic school has no thinker of any note for about 200 years.

After Aristotle's death he went to Rhodes, where he founded an "Aristotelian School". The third person to write a history of mathematics (after Xenocrates and Theophrastus), he also wrote histories of arithmetic, astronomy and the exact sciences in general.

The Explorer Globe II is jam-packed with hundreds of facts, trivia, and useful scholastic information about every aspect of the geographical world. It electronically verbalizes everything from area population, capitol city/country, state/province, large bodies of water, currencies, high points, distance, and more. Other remarkable features make the Explorer an even more useful reference tool. It has a world clock that, once set from your home area, will tell the time in every other part of the world. And any country can be selected to hear a sample its national music (yes, Tahiti does have a national anthem). The globe sits on a sturdy base, which features a dashboard full of interactive functions and an attached soft-tipped stylus. This stylus is the key instrument: use it to touch virtually any point on the surface of the globe to retrieve information. Diane Beall

Extractions: This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson
