Reprint. Condition: Gut. pp. 77-90. From the estate of the classical philologist Ernst Vogt, editor-in-chief of the journals *Rheinisches Museum für Philologie* (19591967) and *Gnomon* (19701999; co-editor from 1975). - A fine, clean copy. - From the text: It has been said that Pythagoras casts a long shadow in the history of Greek thought. Indeed, the shadow both widens and deepens spectacularly in course of time. He has not only been consideredon disputable grounds, as we shall seeas the first European mystic. No other personality of the Greco-Roman world (except Christ, and perhaps Alexander the Great) has been credited with such powers and all-round capacities. Since early Imperial times he has been represented as a man of divine origin, a saint, a sage, a prophet, and a great magician; a sportsman and an ascetic; a poet and prosewriter; a Dorian nationalist (though an Ionian by birth); an eminent mathematician, musician, astronomer, logician, rhetorician, and physician; a world-wide traveller; a founder of a religious sect, an ethical brotherhood, and a political community; a great metaphysician and teacher whose views of the universe, human society and the human soul deeply influenced not only Plato and Aristotle, but Herakleitos, Parmenides, Demokritos and, in short, all prominent thinkers; a preacher of universal tolerance, and a good husband and father.

Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 89-113. With a dedication from the author. - From the estate of the classical philologist Ernst Vogt, editor-in-chief of the journals *Rheinisches Museum für Philologie* (19591967) and *Gnomon* (19701999; co-editor from 1975). - A fine, clean copy. - From the text: Greek authors from the 4th century B.C. onwards in ever increasing numbers used a continuous, systematic, and discursive, though non-rhetorical and non-emotional prose, what in other words is sometimes loosely called »scientific style». It occurs within certain limits, as we shall see, in the Hippocratics. Above all it is manifest to us in the extant writings of Aristotle, and various reproductions and reflections of it can be found for instance in the technical writings of Xenophon and in Platos later works. Later still it appears to constitute a fundamental feature in standard matter-of-fact Koiné and its Latin counterparts (from Varro onwards). - Wikipedia: Berndt Holger Thesleff (* 4. Dezember 1924 in Helsinki; 3. Oktober 2023 ebenda) war ein finnischer Altphilologe und Philosophiehistoriker. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 250.
